JDK 9 compatibility is making the library unusable on projects which need to stick to JDK8 #30

Closed hbs closed 5 years ago

hbs commented 5 years ago

The recent release of 3.0.2 on maven repositories has rendered the library unusable for all applications which must still use JDK8 due to incompatibilities in their dependencies.

Yes - I am aware of this problem.

As soon as I get time (or someone contributes) - the current version will be extended to support a multi-version JAR file with support for Java 8 and 9.

Until then your options are a) to stick with version 2.x binaries and/or b) to use the source code tagged "last-java8-commit". If backports to version 2.x.x (Java 8) are required at some time I will branch from this point.

Sorry - but due to lack of available work effort, I have decided to only support the latest JDK LTS version, which currently is Java 11.

Users who - for different reasons - are stuck with older Java version will have to use AISmessages 2.x.x.
