Add minimal proxy API for JDK 7 & JDK 8 JFR #4

Closed thegreystone closed 5 years ago

thegreystone commented 5 years ago

We should be able to add a minimal proxy API for the classes and few methods used by the Oracle JDK 7 & 8. This would make it possible to cross compile everything on an Oracle JDK 11 (-release, -source, and -target), and not need an Oracle JDK anymore at compile time.

Problem will be testing which would require the JDK anyway

thegreystone commented 5 years ago

True. Seems TravisCI supports testing with the OracleJDK. :)

They give as an example: .travis.yml jdk:

oraclejdk8
oraclejdk9
openjdk8

Perhaps we can go with oraclejdk8 and openjdk11. (Some text indicated that testing oraclejdk7 may no longer work.)
