http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1074162 Bug ID: 1074162 Summary: java-9-openjdk-headless: jrt-fs.jar not compatible with Java 8 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Java Assignee: bnc-team-java@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: k463@m.ji53.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The `jrt-fs.jar` shipped in `java-9-openjdk-headless` package is not compatible with Java 8, which is apparently necessary for some development tools that themselves run on Java 8 to be able to use the Java 9 JDK shipped in this package. One example of this is Intellij IDEA, which means currently it's unable to use openSUSE provided Java 9 JDK as a project JDK. A detailed explanation of the issue can be found on OpenJDK bugtracker [1] and also a test program and steps to reproduce can be found on Ubuntu bugtracker for their corresponding package [2]. The steps are: 1. zypper in java-9-openjdk-headless java-1_8_0-openjdk-headless 2. download `ReadJrt.java` from [2] 3. /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.8.0/bin/javac ReadJrt.java 4. /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.8.0/bin/java ReadJrt /usr/lib64/jvm/java-9/ [1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8174808 [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-9/+bug/1727002 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
