Re: [Netrexx-develop] Beta of NetRexx 4.02 and modern JDK woes

[René J. <rvj...@xs...>]

Hi Marc,

Thank you! That might well have been the case, I only use the aliases. I will try and let you know - it would be great to have that finally working.

Best regards,

René.

>> The task impacted is the <java> task that is used to start the DiagAll class for testing after building. If this is done without forking a new VM, ANT decides to put a SecurityManager on the process, which it will remove after the task. Although this was known for more than 6 months, it was not fixed by the ANT team yet - the current patch in the NetRexx build.xml file is just a workaround gleaned from the Apache ANT bug database, and specifies fork=yes - that *is* a narrow escape.
>> Also be aware that Java has become a moving target in Oracle’s hands and - maybe with the best of intentions - a lot of breakage occurs. So we need to get our testing more structured than it was. As jUnit also turned out to be something that is eager to introduce all kinds of new and shaky Java tech (annotations for no good reasons etc) I am planning to move the newer tests back into the tried & true Diag package. If you work on new stuff, just add the tests to Diag - as Marc already very sensibly did.
>> At the moment I am trying to fix the parts of the documentation that use the JSR223 component, as that still needs Java8 to build it (the output from the examples is built ‘live’ by TeX so it is always up to date - but up to date means broken for the newer JDK’s.
