[lyo-dev] JDK 16 GA and OSLC RefImpl

[Andrii Berezovskyi <andriib@xxxxxx>]

Hello to all Lyo users and developers,

 

JDK 16 has been released: https://jdk.java.net/16/

 

I am happy to say that OSLC RefImpl based on Eclipse Lyo builds just fine on JDK 16 GA (and JDK 17-ea, the next LTS): https://github.com/oslc-op/refimpl/pull/29. Of course, we still support JDKs all the way back to JDK 8 (for now, but we will need to switch to JDK 11 in Lyo 5.0 because of Apache Jena dropping JDK 8).

 

We also updated to Jetty 10 in the meantime: https://github.com/oslc-op/refimpl/commit/d51ec05182c716a9a97212233bfc46cbb27ed901

 

Update to Jetty 11 will be a bit tricky as we must switch from javax.* packages from JavaEE to jakartaee.* in JakartaEE (requirement from Oracle, as many of you know). We will think if it’s worth doing so in Lyo 5.0 (your input is welcome here). See https://webtide.com/jetty-10-and-11-have-arrived/ if you are interested.

 

Best regards,

Andrew
