Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] JDK 8 support for Jakarta EE 9
|
In my understanding the compiler version should be 1.8+ but the runtime JRE should be 11+ due to the reliability of the container.
Hmmm... We
stated that Compatible Impls MUST support Java SE 11, but they MAY also
support Java SE 8. Isn't that very similar to stating that Compatible
Impls MUST support EJBs, but they MAY also support BMP and CMP Beans? I
was assuming that the Java SE 8 optional requirement would be part of the
Platform spec. Especially since we also indicated that the APIs need
to be compiled at the Java SE 8 level.
If we're saying
that the Compatible Implementation doesn't have to support the optional
pieces, then that will need to be discussed and resolved at the Spec Committee.
If this is just
a TCK requirement, then what would we state in the Platform Spec?
This is an especially
pertinent discussion now that the support for Java
SE 8 has been extended to 2030...

I agree I'm not sure whether the
release plan meant it to be a formally a spec item.

I believe we agreed that JDK 8 support is optional for Jakarta EE 9.
I believe we also agreed that one of the Compatible Implementations submitted
with the specification approval MUST support all optional features.
I think this means that GlassFish is required to support JDK 8 and JDK
11.
Or is some other project planning to be the first Compatible Implementation?
I don't have a problem with allowing others to support JDK 8 and JDK 11
if they want to, but I fear it's going to be a fair amount of work for
GlassFish, and requires a commitment from every component that contributes
to GlassFish.
I'm wondering if we can instead handle this as some sort of TCK compatibility
rule instead of including it in the spec?
That's not as clean, but it would remove the spec requirement and thus
allow GlassFish to support only JDK 11 if that's what it wants to do.
