I tested against a locally built version of the RC source using JDK 11 - and that did not work out. I tested against a locally build version of the RC source using JDK 8 - that seemed ok. I didn't yet test against the artifacts that you staged (which were built with JDK 11 if I remember correctly). If they do not exhibit the problem, I'd say we can go forward checking the RC. However, if they do exhibit the problem and if they cannot be used in a Java 8 context, then I'd say we have to re-do the RC. I'll keep you posted. Unrelated question: if I remember correctly, there were some tests involving XML descriptors where Java <= 8 and Java >= 9 produced slightly different XML files. (How) did you fix these cases when you enabled the successful build using Java 11? -- Richard
