Thanks for the update. Good luck.

Thanks. I think I am going to need it. This is going to be *far* from simple.

There is lots of code currently being built by Gump that needs changes to build with Java 9+.

You will have seen I started to try and hack around the issues with Commons Lang 2.4 (it was using source=1.4) but forcing source to 1.6 (the minimum Java 11 supports) just creates a different problem - the source using "enum" as an identifier but it is a reserved word from Java 5 onwards.

I don't see a simple or quick solution for this.

Is there a way in Gump to get just some projects to build with a different JAVA_HOME? Switching just the Tomcat 10.1.x builds to Java 11 is the minimum requirement. We can then take a harder look at the dependency chains and see what we can do to update versions / trim things down.

On the topic of dependency chains, log4j 1.2.x is currently blocking progress.

I need to set the source and target to 1.6 (local testing on vmgump suggests this will then work) but I don't know how to do that.

I see "POM overrides" in a few places But I can't figure out how to use them. Is there a way to copy the log4j POM, store it somewhere in Gump and then tweak it (essentially change "1.4" to "1.6")?

All,

Since Tomcat's main development branch now requires Java 11, I have
started the process of moving Gump over to Java 11.

So far, I have added Java 11 to the packages installed by Puppet.

I want to confirm that Java 11 has been installed, then I'll switch
JAVA_HOME to point to Java 11 rather than Java 8. In theory that should
'just work'. When it doesn't (optimistic soul that I am), we'll have to
see what fails and figure out the best way to deal with each issue.

Once everything is running smoothly on Java 11, then I'll remove Java 8.
