Hi,
I see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21672 has been open for a
while. We at IBM are building Flink with the latest v11 Semeru JDK
(https://developer.ibm.com/languages/java/semeru-runtimes/).
Flink fails to build with skipTests. It fails because
sun.management.VMManagement class
Cannot be found at build time. I see some logic in the Flink code to tolerate
the lack of com.sun packages, but not this sun package. We get:
ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0:compile (default-compile)
on project flink-local-recovery-and-allocation-test: Compilation failure:
Compilation failure:

cannot find symbol
[ERROR] symbol: class VMManagement
[ERROR] location: package sun.management
As per the link in the issue, sun. packages are not supported or part of the
JDK after java 1.7.
I would like to have the priority raised on this Jira and would like to change
the code so it builds successfully by removing the dependency on this old /
unsupported sun package . I am happy to work on this, if you are willing to
support this by assigning me the Jira and merging the fix; ideally we would
like this to be in the next release - Flink 1.19,
Kind regards, David.
