[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (ELY-1473) Java 9: Use new Provider(String, String, String) constructor
David Lloyd created ELY-1473:
--------------------------------
Summary: Java 9: Use new Provider(String,String,String) constructor
Key: ELY-1473
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-1473
Project: WildFly Elytron
Issue Type: Enhancement
Reporter: David Lloyd
Starting from Java 9, Provider instances no longer have a version of type {{double}};
instead it is a plain string. We can start to supply the actual Elytron version string
for this parameter, in Java 9.
To have Java 8 and Java 9 versions of this class, an intermediate superclass must be
introduced which extends Provider, which can be overridden in a Java 9 supplement. On
Java 8, the [emulation
logic|https://github.com/dmlloyd/openjdk/commit/3f86236207573314e25bf7009...]
from Java 9 (or something similar) is used to construct a {{double}} from the version
string. On Java 9, the literal version string is used.
Developing a Java 9 supplement for Elytron is a prerequisite to this task.
