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

["David Jung (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4550?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16757387#comment-16757387 ] 

David Jung commented on THRIFT-4550:
------------------------------------

For those of us not well versed in Java and Java build systems, who just need to build it for Java 9+ (OpenJDK10 in my case), is there a work-around in terms of editing some build configuration (Gradle?) to add the missing modules for javax.annotations?

Q: If a solution for build is to use Java 8, will the resulting jar libraries run as-is on Java 9+ or cause runtime missing class errors?

> 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.
