JRE 1.8.0 compatibility and sun.io package #78

Open pkeller opened 9 years ago

pkeller commented 9 years ago

The DatagramReader and DatagramWriter classes use ByteToCharConverter, CharToByteConverter and ConversionBufferFullException from the sun.io package. These were deprecated in favour of java.nio.charset, and have been removed from JRE 1.8.0

As far as I can see, this is the only coding issue in the way of fully supporting 1.8.0 JREs (the remaining issues are just questions of getting the Execution Environments and build paths consistent).

This note is just for the record: I am not in a hurry for a fix, and I can work around this issue.

how did you workaround?

gsongcap commented 5 years ago

Interested to know how did you workaround.

@jinyanghuang @gsongcap I am afraid that I can no longer find the modifications to the code that I made at the time, sorry. I never produced anything based on Passerelle at the time, I was just experimenting. As I remember, I recoded the DatagramReader and DatagramWriter classes to use classes from the java.nio.charset instead. It wasn't hard.

You should be aware though that the open-source Paserelle is not being actively maintained any longer. You may like to consider switching to is successor product Triquetrum, part of Eclipse Science.

@erwindl0 Can you suggest a good place to start for information about Triquetrum? Much of the Eclipse Foundation website seems to be non-functioning (or hacked?) at the moment. https://science.eclipse.org/ is working, but the "Projects" link gets a 404

Back from some weeks offline.

The Eclipse Science projects site seems to be alive again as well.

You can check e.g. :

Christopher has been working on upgrading Triquetrum to recent Java (even a Java 12).
