[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-6974) Deprecate support for building Derby under JDK 8

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6974?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16224203#comment-16224203 ] 

Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6974:
--------------------------------------

Tests ran cleanly on derby-6974-01-ab-deprecateJDK8.diff. Tests were run on sane and insane jars. Tests included full upgrade tests, starting at every previous release of Derby. Verified that javadoc builds cleanly.

I believe that this patch is ready to be committed.

> In July, the Derby community voted to deprecate support for JDK 8 and move development on the 10.15 trunk to JDK 9. See http://apache-database.10148.n7.nabble.com/RESULT-VOTE-Sunsetting-support-for-Java-8-td147735.html
> This issue tracks the work of converting the Derby build from JDK 8 to JDK 9 and higher. This effort relies on the work already done on DERBY-6856.
> Platform-specific distributions of Oracle JDK 9 can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk9-downloads-3848520.html
