RFR: JDK-8202843: langtools ant build fails (original) (raw)

Hi,

The langtools ant build (used for javac development) fails with:

  [exec] 

/usr/local/home/lahvac/src/jdk/jdk10/src/jdk.jshell/share/classes/jdk/internal/jshell/tool/JShellTool.java:3011: error: cannot find symbol [exec] var url = new URL(filename); [exec] ^ [exec] symbol: class var [exec] location: class JShellTool ...

This is because the build still uses -source 9 -target 9, while the code already uses type inference. We could update the setting to -source 10 -target 10, but I am not sure we need it - can we just use the default? This is not an official build, so some small differences from the official build are acceptable I think.

Proposed webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8202843/webrev.00/

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8202843

Thanks, Jan
