Hi, I just wanted to inform you that the last build of JDK9, build 118 (https://jdk9.java.net/download/) had some changes about which of the core modules are exported by default to non-module enabled apps (those deployed on classpath - the standard way to deploy apps today).
One change to note is: JAXB and a few others are no longer visible by default from Java 9 on (you get ClassNotFoundEx), so users have to add a command line option to make it visible! For more information, see Alan Bateman's statement: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2016-May/004309.html If we plan to migrate to JAXB, we have to think about how to handle that: - Add some up-to-date JAXB impl as Maven dependency. This was also the main reason why JAXB was disabled by default: Code is now able to ship with their own, up-to-date impl of those modules (like Java EE servers). - Document that on Java 9 you have to write your application using the module system or pass an additional command line option to java Uwe ----- Uwe Schindler H.-H.-Meier-Allee 63, D-28213 Bremen http://www.thetaphi.de eMail: u...@thetaphi.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
