I assume you are referring to a replacement for alternatives (which doesn't work on Silverblue or Fedora CoreOS). The ability to switch between different JDK No! Not At all! Alternatives are remaining same. This change is solemnly for build-time only. When we were bumping jdk form 8 to 11. 50% of chanes was to edit source/target flags of javac. I would like to avoid it in future... versions is a must for anyone doing Java programming for different organizations. So anything to make that a smoother operating workflow IMHO is welcome. Hm. How come alternatives do not work for SilverBlue and CoreOs? > > Stephen Snow > > On Mon, Dec 7, 2020 at 11:23, Jiri Vanek <jvanek@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hi! I had risen this topic during jdk11 bump. but it somehow get lost. The idea is, to provide rpm macros, keeping the default source/target eventually - for jdk11 and up -the release - numbers for javac to use. Then to provide tooling, which will help packagers to use them - for ant and maven it should be simple. For others, probably nothing to do on our side, each packager will be able to patch/sed theirs builds as necessary (Still it will help a lot for future). I do not know how to provide them as default (except hardcoding in xmvn, and only allow to disable them on demand). This will smooth the bump to jdk17 in f36 really a lot. Thoughts?
