Hi all I've just completed adapting Ant's unit tests to JDK9, most changes involved changing javac -source options as we've been using 1.4 or 1.5 in several places explicitly. We still need to adapt a few docs and I'll look for references to extdirs and the endorsed libs mechanism.
One unit test remains broken and I think it is due to a bug in rmic, not in Ant. If you run rmic on a Remote class with Xnew something internally seems to be invoking javac with -source 1.3 (and -target 1.1). Something like $ /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.9.0/bin/rmic -Xnew -vcompat RemoteTimestampImpl error: Source option 1.3 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later. error: Target option 1.1 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later.
