Re: [jetty-users] Jetty & Java 11

[Greg Wilkins <gregw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are planning on keeping both jetty-9 and released later this year jetty-10 to be able to run on java 8, 9, 10 & 11

We are already coding support for java >= 9 (eg multi version jars) into the code, but are doing so with java 8 compatible code.  

However, we have only started recently to test against java10 and are being hampered by other tools (eg maven) not yet working entirely with it.

As Jetty-10 has been delay and then delayed again... we might eventually revisit the decision and make it a java 9 only or maybe even a java 11 only release... if we see a need/reason.    Currently there is no big push for jetty-10 as we have seen no demand for servlet 4.0, so we are keeping it open as a possible big feature release, but currently almost all of what we want to do can be done in jetty 9.4.x

cheers

Given Java 9 death this month, and Java 10 death in September this year. so that's not worth bothering with, do you have a release schedule for Java 11 support.

I had a look at running our apps on Jetty on Java 11.   I had some success after adding a few JEE jars onto the classpath.

Given Java 8 death in January 2019...   There is a relatively small window to change from Java 8 to 11.

I assume that for Java 11, Jetty will ship a version that includes the bits that Oracle hath taken away. 

Are you currently working on how to do that ? 

Sorry our support seems to have lapsed 😢   Have queried that though.

Do you want a beta tester...
