[Jython-dev] Updating extlibs

[Stefan R. <Ste...@gm...>]

I uploaded the mentioned updates to
https://github.com/Stewori/jython.
See detailed changes at
https://github.com/Stewori/jython/commit/ee2b1263306f779bf8e9499afc6d02267648ac36

This might not yet work smoothly with Java 7, I will check and adjust that tomorrow.
Some packages were built from source using Java 8 and I'm not sure whether the gradle
scripts always configured Java 7 source compatibility properly.
However if some people could test it, especially on OSX, would be nice.

Best

Stefan

> Hey all,
> I spent some effort to explore feasibility of updating extlibs, especially minor versions (but sometimes even major version, e.g. guava and icu4j).
> My results so far, tested with regrtest on Linux and Windows 10 using Java8 ("okay" means I did not observe additional regrtest failures):
> 
> ASM 5.0.4             -> 5.2     okay
> bouncycastle:
> bcpkix-jdk15on-1.54   -> 1.57    okay
> bcprov-jdk15on-1.54   -> 1.57    okay
> 
> commons-compress-1.12 -> 1.14    okay
> guava-20.0            -> 22.0rc1 okay
> icu4j-58.1            -> 59_1    okay
> Netty 4.1.6           -> 4.1.11  okay
> java-sizeof-0.0.5     -- still current
> jffi-1.2.13           -> 1.2.15  okay
> jnr-ffi-2.1.0         -> 2.1.5   okay
> jnr-netdb-1.1.6       -- still current
> jnr-posix-3.0.31      -> 3.0.41  okay
> jnr-constants-0.9.5   -> 0.9.9   okay
> New platforms: jffi-aarch64-Linux.jar, jffi-ppc64le-Linux.jar, can be added...?
> Updated various other changed platform specific jars to jffi-1.2.15 (okay as far as tested)
> xercesImpl-2.11.0          -- still current
> jline-2.14.2               -> 2.14.3      okay (didn't try jline-3 this time)
> jarjar-1.4                 -- still current
> mysql-connector-java-5.1.6 -> 5.1.42      okay
> postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc4   -> 42.1.1-jre7 okay
> 
> ----------These failed, so leaving them as it is:
> Antlr 3.1.3                -> 3.5.2  fails
> junit-4.10                 -> 4.12 or 4.11 class file for org.hamcrest.Matcher not found
> (staying with 4.10 for now to avoid new dependency on hamcrest-matcher)
> javax.servlet-api-2.5      -> 3.1.0  fails
> mockrunner      (better don't touch; whole structure changed)
> cpptasks        (better don't touch)
> 
> - will be able to test with Java 7 on Tuesday, because I left my old laptop in the office.
> - will upload a fork containing these updates. Would be good if someone else could also test, especially on OSX.
> Maybe some stuff was not covered by regrtests. However the chance that updates solve issues and that they create issues are probably somewhat equal and I'd prefer to focus on fixing issues with current versions rather than older ones.
> So I'm strongly for getting this in if regrtests go through on Java 7 and OSX. 2.7.1RC-phase will be a good opportunity to confirm workability of these updates. Any concerns?
