| [jdt-core-dev] JDT batch compiler and Java 9 |
Hi, I was trying to use Java 9 build 162 to compile the Tycho demo project https://github.com/eclipse/tycho-demo/tree/master/itp04-rcp which failed, details see [1] I'm trying to figure out whether the problem is in Tycho or in JDT (or both). Is the JDT batch compiler supposed to work with Java 9 already? I was looking at the BETA_JAVA9 branch [2] and used latest Y-build from [3] Are these the correct places to look for JDT core with support for Java 9? Not sure if relevant but we use the batch compiler Main in-process i.e. we do not fork for compilation. I found comment [4] and bug [5] which seem to indicate support for jmod files is missing in the batch compiler but wanted to check with you what's the general state of JDT batch compiler with Java 9.
