[forge-dev] Building Forge with Java 8

Hi everybody, As some of you noticed, last night I was able to build and run Forge with the latest early access build of Open JDK 9 (from the Jigsaw forest!). I had to do just one manual workaround. I had to manually add the following dependency to the javaee/impl/pom.xml and shell/impl/pom.xml: <dependency> <groupId>org.jboss.forge.furnace.container</groupId> <artifactId>simple-api</artifactId> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> It was a problem that was already found and documented in this JIRA: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2019 The JIRA says that this problem occurs with Java 8, build 20. So my question is whether this is fixed in later builds of Java 8. If yes, I will report this to the Open JDK folks to up-port the fix to Java 9 as well. If not, I guess we should fix the poms of the respective projects? Thanks, Ivan P.S. Sorry for the 'lazy web' style of message. I know I could have run the build with newer Java 8 by myself :) P.P.S. Thanks to Mani Sarkar from LJC that went the hard way last week and found this workaround for me
