It seems like Shigeru and team have Javassist Java 9 compatible now.
Per
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JASSIST-261 I have played with the propsed
changes using a SNAPSHOT of that built and pushed by Scott. Using that
SNAPSHOT, all those tests which used to fail due to Javassist now pass.
I'd really like to get this working with ORM 5.1, since that is what we
want to upgrade WildFly 11 to use. The best idea that I have for that
would be via a Javassist 3.18.3-GA that would contain a backport of the
https://github.com/jboss-javassist/javassist/tree/test/java9-jigsaw
changes (which means that we would need to build 3.18.3-GA with the JDK9
EA javac.)
I'm not sure if we have enough time to do this (Javassist) backport but
if that is the best way to get ORM 5.1 working with JDK9, we could do
the work, when we find the time. This would likely be after Java9
stabilizes.
Thoughts?
We do still have some failures under Java 9 which are now all attributable
to the version of WildFly we use for some Arquillian-based testing not
being Java 9 compatible. But WildFly is now Java 9 compatible from what I
understand. Anyone know if there is a WildFly 10 release yet that is Java
9 compatible?
As discussed on IRC, not yet, as Java 9 is still changing. There is a
nightly build WildFly build that produces a zip [1].
