Re: Flink JDK compatibility problem.
Hi,
> This is difficult to do since you cannot have multiple jdk activations
for a single profile in maven
Well actually you can have multiple versions of JDK activate the java11
profile.
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
quote:
1. <profile>
2. <activation>
3. <jdk>[1.3,1.6)</jdk>
4. </activation>
So I actually had something really simple in mind:
Have the Java11 profile activate on anything greater or equal to java 11
(i.e. also on java 12,13,14, ...)
And then force it to build java11 code.
Something like this (untested)
<profile>
<id>java11</id>
<activation>
<jdk>[11,)</jdk>
</activation>
...
<configuration>
<source>11</source>
<target>11</target>
<release>11</release>

Re: Flink JDK compatibility problem.
Posted by Chesnay Schepler <ch...@apache.org>.
My understanding is that you can only remove the exports by either a)
removing all usages or b) migrating the project to modules and declare
the JDK dependencies that way.
a) is not viable AFAIK and in at least one case would require dropping
features (the JMX reporter), while b) appears to be a massive task;
modularization for larger projects is not trivial, it does not play
nicely with the shade-plugin (i.e., our entire packaging paradigm) and
can bring additional headaches when also trying to be compatible with
Java 8.
I don't believe this to be a big problem though to be honest; it seems
unlikely that this "temporary workaround" is really that temporary.
Sooo....sure you can create a JIRA ticket, but I do not see anything we
can change at the moment.

Re: Flink JDK compatibility problem.
Posted by Niels Basjes <Ni...@basjes.nl>.
Hi,
I've been fiddling around to try to see if this really works when compiling
with Java 14.
I have the simplest form of this fix working and I've put up a pull request
for just that. https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/12799
I also found that there are two different values for java.version that make
the build needlessly hard to debug (for which I created
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18458 )
What I found is that building under Java 9+ uses a construct that is not
'clean'.
The build is not how it is intended by the Java developers.
What I found today:
When I simply change this (add the release):
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<!-- <source>11</source>-->
<!-- <target>11</target>-->
<release>11</release>
<compilerArgs combine.children="append">
<arg>--add-exports=java.base/sun.net.util=ALL-UNNAMED</arg>
<arg>--add-exports=java.management/sun.management=ALL-UNNAMED</arg>
<arg>--add-exports=java.rmi/sun.rmi.registry=ALL-UNNAMED</arg>
<arg>--add-exports=java.security.jgss/sun.security.krb5=ALL-UNNAMED</arg>
</compilerArgs>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I get
*[ERROR] exporting a package from system module java.base is not allowed
with --release*
*[ERROR] exporting a package from system module java.management is not
allowed with --release*
*[ERROR] exporting a package from system module java.rmi is not allowed
with --release*
*[ERROR] exporting a package from system module java.security.jgss is not
allowed with --release*
When I remove the --add-exports statements I get
*[ERROR]
/home/nbasjes/workspace/Apache/flink/flink-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/util/NetUtils.java:[26,20]
package sun.net.util does not exist*
According to the migration guides the --add-exports is seen as a temporary
workaround
-

- Critical internal JDK APIs such as sun.misc.Unsafe are still

- ...
- You may use the --add-exports option as a temporary workaround to
compile source code with references to JDK internal classes.
and thus is now no longer allowed in combination with the release flag.

Q: Is there an existing ticket for making the build 'clean' for java 9+ ?
Or shall I create one?
