Hi Peter,
nice idea. The only drawback is this requires JDK 9 for a build. What I
wanted to check is if I can compile the same unchanged source tree with JDK
8 and 9...
Since there is not yet a hard requirement for JDK 9 compilation, i.e. this
is just an experiment to figure out things that may be broken and need
work, I would not see any actions on NetBeans side at the moment. I was
just astonished about the breaking change naively assuming that default
methods should be an easy fix.
Thanks for the hint, waiting what Alan comes up with in the meantime
(probably more projects could be hit by the problem)
Hard to say. We've had new abstract methods on Instrumentation in the EA
builds for a long time (and in main line JDK 9 EA builds since 3/2016)
and it hasn't come up before now (at least not to my knowledge).
@Alan: Shall I file a bug?
Okay.
