[jetty-users] Jetty & Java 11

[Lord Buddha]

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...

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
