Hi

has anyone tried to build an Xtext language with Java 16?
I made a very quick experiment with Maven/Tycho and the build fails when executing MWE2 itself with the following trace. I bet it's due to the more restrictive module access and maybe to Guice trying to do that (see the end of the trace)?

did you test with the guice 501 branch?
https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-core/issues/393

or simply force the use of guice 5.0.1 on the mwe call?

might also be the problem is e.g. an outdated exec plugin

Exec plugin is the latest version.
I'll try with forcing Guice, which I guess it's the main problem

problem is mwe has dependency to guice 3
unfortunately there is no easy way to get a maven repo with a patch

So I guess there's nothing we can do right now?

if you build a bunch of all the temporary plugins it should work
https://github.com/itemis/xtext-reference-projects/tree/cd_lala_xxxx/greetings-tycho/2.26.0-J11

as i dont get any feedback on the new guice at all i dont know if it ever will make it to master

So independently from Guice 5, actually I managed to build and test (also with Maven/Tycho) Xtext DSLs with Java 16!
The problem was the MWE2 launch, and I was trying to pass the (now required with Java 16) VM argument "--illegal-access=permit" (which used to be the default up to Java 16, where it became "=deny", that's why I was getting that error) to the Java execution of the "exec-maven-plugin". However, there's no way to pass a VM option to that plugin. That's actually documented (https://www.mojohaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/java-mojo.html#systemProperties: "A list of system properties to be passed. Note: as the execution is not forked, some system properties required by the JVM cannot be passed here. Use MAVEN_OPTS or the exec:exec instead.". So the solution is to specify "--illegal-access=permit" when you run the Maven build.
For example in the m2e launch configuration

<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.VM_ARGUMENTS" value="--illegal-access=permit"/>


Build and tests are now working!

Given that Java 17 rampdown 2 is in 3 days from now and Java 17 will ignore the "--illegal-access=permit" option (at least, that is my understanding of JEP 403), I am a bit concerned that this workaround will not do any more for Java 17.
This would make the upgrade to guice 5 a "must have" in order to use Xtext with Java 17.
I would like to support testing and help to get Xtext 2.26.0 shipped with guice 5, but I have limited knowledge of Eclipse internals.
Is there any description, how I could help testing?

Hi

Checking OCL and QVTd, the import package for com.google.inject is unconstrained by version, so provided other projects take the same policy and only use Guice transitively, you only need to see whether projects that directly use Guice work. Check Xtext out in your workspace, check the com.google.inject bounds in *.MF and ensure that only 5.x is available. Guice is so fundamental, that I would expect it to just work or be an obvious disaster, potentially subject to a couple of trivial API evolution fixes that you could anticipate by reading the release notes. For Guava every change seems to be 'major' but we have given up caring....

Regards

Instead of "--illegal-access" you can use

--add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED


Concerning testing, I left detailed instructions here: https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-core/issues/393#issuecomment-859685083

Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try the next days.

I did a couple of tests.

1) The Java 17 EA (build 31) works with option "--add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED" (which more or less negates jigsaw)
2) With the test instructions by Lorenzo, I was able to almost build my DSLs using the Christian's xtext guice snapshot (build date July 13th) , without any of the above compiler options.
It worked with Java 11 and Java 16. Java 17 failed due to Tycho (I used 2.3, support for Java 17 will be added in 2.4, but due to https://github.com/eclipse/tycho/issues/179 it looks like that one will not be usable with Xtext, which is a blocker)
The "almost" refers to some dependency issue in the final step, building the update site (very likely due to some mistake on my side which I did not yet spot), and some warnings about version mismatches in the build logs:

I could not yet test using the generated plugins, due to the issues with the update site, I will follow up those next week. The current branch is here: https://github.com/jpaw/bonaparte-dsl/tree/guice5test

this might be a variant of https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-maven/issues/146 (tycho 2.4 knowing build.properties and thus these and the exec-plugin extra deps interfering

xtext-maven-plugin was not yet used (these mismatches occurred when creating the plugins), but I found the issues, they have been caused by some outdated version specified in MANIFEST.MF files, combined with also outdated eclipse download URLs in the target files.
There are still some remaining (but minor) version mismatches, no none at major or minor release, only at build number.
I could work around the updatesite problem by assigning a fixed release (do I need a local p2 repo to build SNAPSHOT / qualifier update sites?)

Good news #1: I can build the DSL using java 11 without any guice warnings. (I used tycho 2.3)
Good news #2: I can use the generated DSLs with the guice5 branch of Xtext and java11 or java17-ea without any special maven / compiler options and without any warning. => The branch works for me and I vote for merging into master.
