[log4j] "JDK 9 Ready"

Hi,

Oracle has asked me if we have an official announcement that we are "JDK 9
ready". Do we?

We are listed here:

Also, I plan on adding the manifest headers so Log4j classifies as somewhat modularized before the next release.

OK, then you might want to clarify what JDK 9 Ready really means.

Just to close the loop, it is Rory I am emailing with as well.

I have been hesitant to do that simply because we are not modularized. There is one user I have seen who is trying to build an application that only uses modularized components. I don’t think he is going to be successful at this point.

On the other hand, if JDK 9 ready means that we support running in Java 9 applications then the answer would be yes, so it depends on what the definition of “JDK 9 Ready” is. I did send an mail to Rory a couple of weeks ago saying Log4j was ready to run in Java 9.
