Hi, I want to help to get Tapestry 5.5 to run with Java 9/10 so I've decided to share how I got Tapestry 5.5 up and (mostly) running with Java 9 in a containerized Eclipse:
https://gist.github.com/benweidig/7bec8580cfef7e28064e397cb4a18104 YMMV if you don't run it on Linux but it should be doable at least on macOS if you intall XQuartz etc., but it wasn't much fun the last time I've tried to get X11 apps running via Docker on macOS. Windows with WSL might work, too. The "Dockerfile" is copy/pasted/merged from multiples files of our internal dev-setup and might contain some stuff not actually needed. I've only tested it on my machine so far where I've already run other containerized Eclipses, so you might need to adapt it a little to your needs. There are still some issues I've run into: - Java 9 removed "tools.jar" ( https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/migrate/toc.htm#GUID-12237744-E23B-42F8-8892-26BA1BDD63F2) so the project "tapestry-javadoc" build path is broken, but you can just close it in Eclipse - "/tapestry-core/src/test/groovy/org/apache/tapestry5/LaunchJetty8.groovy" is missing s package declaration (Quick-Fix available in Eclipse) - Some tests are failing (sometimes) due to Selenium issues (couldn't connect, Marionette stuff), have to look into it. My ultimate goal would be running it with Java 10 due to Java 9 being EOL, at least the Oracle JDK9. First thing that might fail is the Java version detection in "tapestry-5/build.gradle:119". Any suggestions or ideas how to improve this are appreciated! Thinking about making a real GitHub repo for it with a more detailed "readme". Ben
