Hi Erik, thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately we do not see this in GHA , so backports look nice and ‘green’ there .
And some people with strict version requirements in the company most likely have a problem with an old / unpatched JDK20 .

No, you can't use JDK N features in the langtools modules because because those need to be compatible with the official bootjdk which is version JDK N-1. This has been the case since long before I started working on the JDK. /Erik On 7/24/24 12:52 AM, Baesken, Matthias wrote: Hi, when building the backport to 21u-dev 8326332: Unclosed inline tags cause misalignment in summary tables https://github.com/openjdk/jdk21u-dev/pull/866 with a BOOT JDK 20, I run into these build errors : (the build works fine when a JDK21 is used as BOOT JDK ; in GHA it is also fine because seems we use JDK21 boot JDK there ) /open_jdk/jdk21u_dev_2/jdk21u-dev/src/jdk.javadoc/share/classes/jdk/javadoc/internal/doclets/formats/html/HtmlDocletWriter.java:1156: error: cannot find symbol && openTags.getLast().equals(name)) { ^ symbol: method getLast() location: variable openTags of type List<Name> /open_jdk/jdk21u_dev_2/jdk21u-dev/src/jdk.javadoc/share/classes/jdk/javadoc/internal/doclets/formats/html/HtmlDocletWriter.java:1157: error: cannot find symbol openTags.removeLast(); ^ symbol: method removeLast() location: variable openTags of type List<Name> /open_jdk/jdk21u_dev_2/jdk21u-dev/src/jdk.javadoc/share/classes/jdk/javadoc/internal/doclets/formats/html/HtmlDocletWriter.java:1501: error: cannot find symbol result.add(RawHtml.endElement(openTags.removeLast())); ^ symbol: method removeLast() location: variable openTags of type List<Name> 3 errors gmake[3]: *** [CompileInterimLangtools.gmk:127: /open_jdk/jdk21u_dev_2/buildfolder/buildtools/interim_langtools_modules/jdk.javadoc.interim/_the.BUILD_jdk.javadoc.interim_batch] Error 1 gmake[2]: *** [make/Main.gmk:78: interim-langtools] Error 2 We use here functionality of class List ( getLast() / removeLast() ) that was added in jdk21. Shouldn't we be able to use this functionality ? For backports it would be much easier/ cleaner to have the ability of clean backports without the need to remove jdk21 functionality . Also some people might not even notice those issues , because they cannot use old/unpatched/un-secure JDK20 . It looks like there might be an issue in the build process so that we reference java.base from boot jdk20 , or is it done on purpose that for CompileInterimLangtools / jdk.javadoc this cannot be used) ?
