Korda runs on Java 9

Java 8 leaves public support in September and can no longer be protected, we need to know when the Corda platform will remove its dependency on Java 8, so we need a compatible Java 9 version of Corda with enough runtime that we can get an internal installation, testing and deployment until September 2018.

Please tell us your thoughts. Javier

We have already started working on Java 9 support. For example, we set the Automatic-Module-Name to our JARs and are working to de-split our packages. I hope we can focus on ending this and getting a version of Corda based on Java 9 next year. However, other features required for deployment take precedence.

For our corporate proposal, we are switching to JRE integration on our own, so the JVM version will not care about users, this will be our problem, and we will release JVM updates as part of Corda releases. This is the direction that the Java platform travels anyway. Thus, security fixes in the basic runtime environment will be checked by us to find out if they are applicable and, if necessary, launch new corporate cords. Testing combinations will be on us.
