[Discussion] Upgrading OFBiz to work with Java 11

[taher]

Hi Folks,

Now that we upgraded Gradle, I think we should consider moving to the
new LTS (JDK 11)? I tried to upgrade to java 11 and got lots of
issues. Some deprecated packages are removed and others changed
signature. I got 2 errors and about 53 warnings for things that should
be fixed.

Should we go ahead and attempt the upgrade? Anyone already went
through the effort and can help out?

Hi Taher

I haven't tried upgrading myself but I'm in for this effort. I think it
only makes sense to do the upgrade. I'll also try Java 11 and see how it
goes.

Best,
Girish

I think the major challenge in that upgrade will be to handle the new
module system which has been added in Java 9.

For the record, OpenJDK 11 is still not available on the GNU/Linux
distro I am using. So upgrading it right now would make my life harder.

I tried to run ofbiz with JDK 11, with following entry in build.gradle I am
able to build and run ofbiz.


runtime 'javax.xml.soap:javax.xml.soap-api:1.4.0'



There are around 75 warnings (framework + plugins)



Thanks & Regards
