Re: [Discussion] Upgrading OFBiz to work with Java 11

[Girish Vasmatkar]

Hi Taher

I haven't tried upgrading myself but I'm in for this effort. I think it
only makes sense to do the upgrade. I'll also try Java 11 and see how it
goes.

Best,
Girish

[Discussion] Upgrading OFBiz to work with Java 11

[Taher Alkhateeb]

Hi Folks,

Now that we upgraded Gradle, I think we should consider moving to the
new LTS (JDK 11)? I tried to upgrade to java 11 and got lots of
issues. Some deprecated packages are removed and others changed
signature. I got 2 errors and about 53 warnings for things that should
be fixed.

Should we go ahead and attempt the upgrade? Anyone already went
through the effort and can help out?

Re: Gradle daemons in demos and Buildbot builds?

[Taher Alkhateeb]

I recommend not to run the daemon in CI. It's not worth the
instability to gain a few seconds on each run.
