[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-4550) Properly support Java 9

["James E. King III (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4550?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16504682#comment-16504682 ] 

James E. King III commented on THRIFT-4550:
-------------------------------------------

In the Ubuntu Bionic docker image I had to do the following to allow things to build (for Java):

{noformat}
update-alternatives --config java <<< '2' && java -version
{noformat}

The default Java is 10.0.1 and the annotation stuff is still busted in Thrift.

> Some things like "javax.annotations" are no longer accessible in Java 9 unless you jump through hoops and they have been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
> The default java in Ubuntu Bionic appears to be Java 9, but 8 is available, so I will make the docker file use that for now.
> We use annotations and the "js" library "make check" fails to build when jdk9 is in use.
