> Enable project to be built on JDK 9+
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: XALANJ-2709
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2709
> Project: XalanJ2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Security Level: No security risk; visible to anyone(Ordinary problems in
> Xalan projects. Anybody can view the issue.)
> Reporter: Alexander Kriegisch
> Assignee: Gary D. Gregory
> Priority: Major
>
> The current Maven build in branch {{xalan-java-mvn-refactored}} only works on
> JDK 8, mostly due to the taglet module which uses {{sun.com.*}} APIs which
> first were deprecated in JDK 9 and then later removed from the JDK entirely.
> I.e., currently there is no option to build on JDK 9+ with source and target
> 1.8.
> To do:
> * Duplicate taglet classes and modify the new version to use the current
> taglet API in more recent JDKs, while still retaining the old JDK 8 classes.
> Otherwise, it would no longer be possible to build Xalan-J on JDK 8.
> * Provide Maven profiles which auto-activate according to the currently used
> JDK on the build system, which alternatively build the old or the new taglet
> classes and use them later during javadoc generation.
> This way, it should still be possible to build the actual Xalan-J classes
> with target 8. Only the taglet classes would be JDK-dependent.
