Analysis of wildfly-8.1.0 dependency on JDK-Internal APIs
by Rory O'Donnell Oracle, Dublin Ireland
Hi Tomaz,
As part of the preparations for JDK 9, Oracle’s engineers have been
analyzing open source projects like yours to understand usage.
One area of concern involves identifying compatibility problems, such as
reliance on JDK-internal APIs.
Our engineers have already prepared guidance on migrating some of the
more common usage patterns of JDK-internal APIs to supported public
interfaces. The list is on the OpenJDK wiki [0], along with instructions
on how to run the jdeps analysis tool yourself .
As part of the ongoing development of JDK 9, I would like to encourage
migration from JDK-internal APIs towards the supported Java APIs. I have
prepared a report for your project wildfly-8.1.0 release based on the
jdeps output.
The report is attached to this e-mail.
For anything where your migration path is unclear, I would appreciate
comments on the JDK-internal API usage patterns in the attached jdeps
report, (if any) - in particular comments elaborating on the rationale
for them - either to me or on this list.
Finding suitable replacements for unsupported interfaces is not always
straightforward, which is why I am reaching out to you early in the JDK
9 development cycle so you can give feedback about new APIs that may be
needed to facilitate this exercise.
Thank you in advance for any efforts and feedback helping us make JDK 9
better.
Rgds,Rory
