At least "people" using Studio should be able to do that :)

I described a workaround on how to use the current Studio version with
Java 9 in the Jira you created. I also updated the FAQ [1].

Another option is to install a vanilla Eclispe Oxygen and then install
the Studio plugins into it, this is described in [2].

Kind Regards,
Stefan

Stefan provided a workaround (somwhere in the mailing list) Îm currently in
a train, so I can’t find it for you, but if you can wait a couple of

Expecting people to “just” hack around inside a config file hidden by default 
before it works isn’t a solution.

I certainly do not read any "not possible" here and do not have any issues
installing several JDKs in parallel, either:

$ /usr/libexec/java_home -V
Matching Java Virtual Machines (5):
9.0.4, x86_64:  "Java SE 9.0.4"
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.0.4.jdk/Contents/Home
1.8.0_162, x86_64:  "Java SE 8"
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_162.jdk/Contents/Home
1.7.0_79, x86_64:   "Java SE 7"
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_79.jdk/Contents/Home

Then just download and install the Java 8 JDK on your machine and tell Studio
to use it. either in

ApacheDirectoryStudio.app/Contents/Eclipse/ApacheDirectoryStudio.ini or in 
ApacheDirectoryStudio.app/Contents/Info.plist using the "-vm" argument.

Unfortunately this is not possible for me - I need to build elasticsearch to 
fix a bug and that requires Java 9. I also need to administer LDAP servers, and 
that requires Apache Directory Studio.

I can’t sit in the middle of an idealogical debate, I have work to get done :(

Clearly, Java 9. And we are certainly not going to support it, as it
will be EOL in March.

Same thing for Java 10 / 18.3, which will EOL in september.

Atm, just uninstall Java 9, keep going with Java 8 which is supported up
to 2020.

Don't buy the stupid Oracle agenda. It's crap. Utter crap. Shame on them.
