| [jdt-core-dev] gerrit tests on Java 9 - almost there & heads-up |
Hi, I made some progress in https://bugs.eclipse.org/527750 but this issue is slightly in limbo as I'll go to bed before jenkins is done. Here's what we have: In https://git.eclipse.org/r/113120 I have some changes which should hopefully produce our first successful build with compiler tests running on Java 9 and thus executing also 9-only tests. If that job succeeds, feel free to release the gerrit. Otherwise, s.o. may have to disable the new maven profile in the jenkins configuration, to allow successful builds on Java 8 still: Just remove "-Ptest-on-javase-9". The other interim tweak I made in the configuration (create toolchains.xml on the fly and refer mvn to it) shouldn't harm when going back to Java 8. (to be removed when https://bugs.eclipse.org/528366 is resolved). There's also the interaction with platform-releng https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-releng-dev/msg29194.html but from all I saw, we should be safe. best, Stephan
