Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6974:
--------------------------------------
Tests ran cleanly on derby-6974-01-ab-deprecateJDK8.diff. Tests were run on
sane and insane jars. Tests included full upgrade tests, starting at every
previous release of Derby. Verified that javadoc builds cleanly.
I believe that this patch is ready to be committed.

> In July, the Derby community voted to deprecate support for JDK 8 and move
> development on the 10.15 trunk to JDK 9. See
> http://apache-database.10148.n7.nabble.com/RESULT-VOTE-Sunsetting-support-for-Java-8-td147735.html
> This issue tracks the work of converting the Derby build from JDK 8 to JDK 9
> and higher. This effort relies on the work already done on DERBY-6856.
