[aerogear-dev] JDK9 / UPS

[Matthias Wessendorf]

Hi,

I've released a first version (from a branch) of the parent 2.0.0 - the
1.1.x stuff stays on master for now.

release branch:
https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-parent/tree/2.0.0

This POM will be used for UPS JDK_9 development. As of today the UPS builds
fine w/ Java9, when skipping tests :-)

Part of the problem is some of the modular system, coming w/ JDK9.

Current thinking is to introduce an additional JDK9 profile, with proper
dependencies and plugin configurations (e.g. --add-modules enabled for
certain plugins) only when running on java9.

I am not 100% sure at this moment, but I guess this might force us to also
update some APIs (e.g. JPA/Transactions from 2.0 to latest).  Generally
this aligns well with our community goals, to support latest of WildFly
(e.g. 11+). This is something I am going to investigate the next days.

Hope is, to fully support java9, and trying to turn UPS into a more modular
system, likely based on WF-Swarm, but that's really sure, for now.

Any thoughts / comments / feedback ?

-Matthias
