[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3743) Cannot start JBDS 10 with jdk 1.9 EA

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3743?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13310547#comment-13310547 ]

------------------------------------------------------------

Reopened to fix JIRA title (this is re: devstudio 10, not 9).

But wanted to also note some other gotchas with using devstudio 10.2.0.AM2 and jdk 9:

a) installer won't run with jdk 9, as noted above
b) installer DOES run with jdk 8, then editing jbdevstudio.ini with these values does allow it to start using jdk 9 ea build 140:

{code}-vm
/opt/jdk-9-ea+140/bin/java
...
-vmargs
--add-modules=java.se.ee{code}

See also !launchdevstudio10.2.0.AM2-with-jdk9ea140-configuration-settings.png|thumbnail!

But then on startup there's no JRE available:

!launchdevstudio10.2.0.AM2-with-jdk9ea140-jre-not-supported.png|thumbnail!

> Oracle changed their JDK 1.9 Early Access builds recently. Now the installed jdk reports its version as 9-ea instead of 1.9 used previously. This caused a problem with the JBDS installer: JBDS-3581
> But even if I select jdk 1.8 in the installer and change jbdevstudio.ini to point to my 1.9 installation, JBDS won't start (I'm on Mac).
> It just shows an error saying where to look for log. The log is linked here:

> Upstream BZ: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=486213
