Support for OpenJDK 9+

Support for OpenJDK 9+

[Mathieu Alexandre-Tétreault]

Howdy,

We recently got a request to add support for Java(OpenJdk) 9+.
I came to wonder if there was any limitations preventing the use of 
Openjdk 9+ on arm?

Any advise will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Mathieu

Debian stable ships OpenJDK 11 on three different arm architectures.

None that I'm aware of...

Additionally please take in mind the end-of-support of the OpenJDK 
releases to make sure you put the effort in a long maintained version if 
possible.

Furthermore you may also take advantages of synergies with adoptopenjdk.net?

I have a somewhat related question. Is there a technical reason that we're still using GNU Classpath? That project looks to be thoroughly abandoned since 2012. As you may have seen last night I submitted some patches to fix some "simple" bugs in BigDecimal. By "simple", I mean the kind of bug that I'd expect to bite many users, as opposed to an esoteric or corner-case bug. 

If it's just that no one has ever volunteered to move to something newer, then I may be able to help. No commitments yet though.  

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
AFAIK there are no technical reasons for Classpath and any help is of 
course greatly appreciated ;-)
