Re: When will JDK 9 builds move to requiring the boot JDK be JDK 8?

You are right Kelly, the old build system did use the idlj from the boot jdk. The new build, does build a bootstrap idlj, as can be seen here: he http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/corba/file/14e7fbdd1dcb/make/GensrcCorba.gmk And uses this bootstrap idlj to compile the idl files, so at least th

Re: When will JDK 9 builds move to requiring the boot JDK be JDK 8?

As I recall, corba builds do some code generation with idlj, which is in corba I think, so a boot jdk version of idlj would need to be built and run with the boot jdk, then you could build everything with the new jdk. Or so I recall.. -kto On Apr 3, 2014, at 11:54 PM, Fredrik Öhrström wrote: >

Re: When will JDK 9 builds move to requiring the boot JDK be JDK 8?

The general plan had been to wait until Java 8 was final before switching from JDK 7 to JDK 8. We planned switch internal Oracle build systems to JDK 8 after the April 15th CPU release. However, since there seems to already be a mix of JDK 7 and JDK 8 in use it is probably appropriate to switch

Re: When will JDK 9 builds move to requiring the boot JDK be JDK 8?

As Chris pointed out, we have a patch that's already been reviewed, so making the change is trivial. I do think a bit of a heads up to jdk9-dev is a good idea though. /Erik On 2014-04-03 12:04, Alan Bateman wrote: On 03/04/2014 09:53, Erik Joelsson wrote: I don't see any reason not to make th

When will JDK 9 builds move to requiring the boot JDK be JDK 8?

We had problems in jdk9/dev in the last day or so where there were changes pushed to the corba repo that use APIs that are new in JDK 8. This caused problems when building jdk9/dev with a 7uX build as the boot JDK and made it obvious that there are a mix of boot JDKs in use (some people use 7
