-----------------------------------------------------------------

Found a fix to the failed cipher tests. Need to install the Java JCE (Java Cryptographic Extension). It's already bundled -but not enabled- with the JDK9 EA build. Find it here <java dir>/lib/security/unlimited_policy/. If not there (like when using Oracle Java 8), need to be downloaded and installed manually.

>                 Key: CASSANDRA-9608
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9608
>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Task
>            Reporter: Robert Stupp
>            Priority: Minor
>
> This ticket is intended to group all issues found to support Java 9 in the future.
> From what I've found out so far:
> * Maven dependency {{com.sun:tools:jar:0}} via cobertura cannot be resolved. It can be easily solved using this patch:
> {code}
> -        <dependency groupId="net.sourceforge.cobertura" artifactId="cobertura"/>
> +        <dependency groupId="net.sourceforge.cobertura" artifactId="cobertura">
> +          <exclusion groupId="com.sun" artifactId="tools"/>
> +        </dependency>
> {code}
> * Another issue is that {{sun.misc.Unsafe}} no longer contains the methods {{monitorEnter}} + {{monitorExit}}. These methods are used by {{o.a.c.utils.concurrent.Locks}} which is only used by {{o.a.c.db.AtomicBTreeColumns}}.
> I don't mind to start working on this yet since Java 9 is in a too early development phase.
