Re: [hibernate-dev] Tests on JDK 9, and other updates on ci.hibernate.org
All,
I've updated the JDK versions on ci.hibernate.org to include
# Early Access build for JDK 9 b35 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/>
summary of changes: http://www.java.net/download/jdk9/changes/jdk9-b35.html
name on CI: Preview-JDK9
# Early Access build for JDK 8u40 b10 <http://jdk8.java.net/download.html>
summary of changes:
http://www.java.net/download/jdk8u40/changes/jdk8u40-b10.html
name on CI: Oracle JDK 8
But I still need your help to setup the project to actually use these
JDK's. I've setup Hibernate Search, I am hoping you could all take
ownership of one project you're most involved with and set it up as
well.
I still didn't disable asciidoctor on Hibernate Search, which fails
the documentation build, but besides that at least I know the tests
work fine.
Thanks,
Sanne

"Right now" can be flexible of course, but the JDK will come sooner
than usual. Having these tasks running doesn't necessarily imply that
our stuff will work fine but it means we'll have the knowledge to be
able to make informed decisions at lowest overhead (the earlier the
better).
I'd like us to be pro-active in terms of "our stuff will work on
Java9" but I don't want to spend cycles on debugging stuff on behalf
of asciidoc or JRuby to work on JDK9 too, so realistically we should
disable these and let other deal with it at their own pace.
Not least, we're engaged in a promise to the OpenJDK team to test
these builds, in exchange we get full attention to bug reports:
