I submitted https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6864 in November to propose that we add default compiler flags to enable ActiveMQ 5.x to work out of the box with Java 9. To date there's been no activity on it. However, my understanding is that enabling access to those internal APIs is simply a matter of setting the right flags on the JVM when it starts, so you'd probably just need to tweak the start scripts as you found additional internal classes we're using, so it's something you could do yourself if you were interested. If you do, it would be great if you add a comment to that issue noting which flags were necessary.
But as Tim said, LevelDB is deprecated due to lack of developer interest in supporting it, so you should only continue using it if you're prepared to do your own troubleshooting and fixes, without any support from this mailing list. So using KahaDB instead may kill two birds with one stone. Also, I hope you mean that your company wants you running on Java 9, not Java 10, within the next months, since the Java 10 beta just came out. And ActiveMQ 5.x is not EOL and there's no plan for it to be (that I'm aware of), though that's not to discourage you from using Artemis instead. Tim On Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 1:58 PM, Oliver B.
