Josh Elser commented on HBASE-21808: ------------------------------------ Tested this out locally and it works just fine (building HBase for jdk8 using jdk11). You have my +1 Looking again at [https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#java] – is it worth our adding another table for JDK compatibility: supported JDK for building vs. support JDK for running? > Ensure we can build with JDK11 targetting JDK8 > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-21808 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21808 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build, community, java > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Sean Busbey > Assignee: Sean Busbey > Priority: Major > Attachments: HBASE-21808.0.patch > > > When folks "install a JDK" wether they get JDK11 now will depend on the > platform (e.g. from homebrew you will get jdk11). For new contributors this > results in confusing errors on first run. > Make it so that a non-release build using JDK11 and using our default > compiler source/target versions of JDK8 can complete. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
