Hi, I hit an Eclipse IDE bug (root cause appears to be in jdt.jar) trying to run some 9.0.x unit tests.
I've reported the bug to Eclipse: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=558821 For those of you who are interested the minimal test case is here: https://github.com/markt-asf/eclipse-verify-error and it maps to this Tomcat code: https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/master/java/org/apache/juli/ClassLoaderLogManager.java#L508 and the associated initialisation of the isJava9 flag. We could work-around it by refactoring ClassLoaderLogManager. However, I don't think that is necessary at this time. What I do suggest is: - we don't upgrade the JDT dependency for 9.0.x beyond 4.13 until a fix is released - anyone using Eclipse should not upgrade to 2019-12 (4.14) - anyone using Eclipse who has upgraded to 2019-12 (e.g. me) uses Eclipse's rollback feature to revert to 2019-09 (4.13) The short version for anyone needing to downgrade Eclipse is: - Help -> About - Installation details - Installation history - Select the most recent 4.13 configuration - Click revert You will see a warning about workspace compatibility. I haven't seen any problems yet although I have only re-run the unit test that was failing to confirm that it works after the downgrade.
