All, We have received a number of tickets related to jdk9 and the libjli problem. I’m not sure exactly what the issue is, and we don’t have a solution yet, but I notice that JDK9 was EOL over a year ago. I suppose it goes without saying that the Java ecosystem is undergoing some changes wrt to Oracle’s semi-recent license change, but it seems odd to me that so many projects are building against a JDK that was never really deployed, and is already deprecated. Is there a tangible benefit to building on JDK9 vs newer releases? I’d like to get some more understanding of the reasons projects want to build against JDK9.
Thanks, Chris INFRA
