Izpack JDKPathPanel requires tools.jar making it incompatible with jdk 11

[Deepak Pandey]

In Jdk 11 the tools.jar has been removed. because of that, JDKPathPanel throws "The chosen directory does not contain the required product." error. is there a plan to support Izpack on jdk 11?

[Andreas Kuhtz]

Hello,

I looked into the code and tried to build izpack with JDK11. There are some changes in the JDK that require changes in izpack, but regarding your question: How can I detect the JDK installation for JDK > 8 ?

Regards,

Andreas

I just changed the jdk version in the IDE. Izpack project started giving compilation errors after that.
Why does JdkPathPanel checks for the presence of tools.jar?

Hello,

I guess that the presence of the tools.jar was the check if the provided directory contains a valid JDK installation. Maybe this could be changed to check for existence of javac in the bin folder to work with JDK9+.
