Java 17 for developers

[Philip Durbin]

Hello Java hackers!

We just merged the Java 17 branch!

That means you should update your dev environment and any pull requests you have open.

One commit I'd like to highlight is this one: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/9764/commits/f0c67786b48fbcb3caa3028b0cad7dc4a68e48ae

As you see above, for now anyway, it seems like you need to add the JVM option below if you're using Payara 6.2023.8 (and you should be, since it's the latest).

asadmin create-jvm-options --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED

Let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks!

Phil

p.s. If you missed the note about upgrading to Payara 6 from the other day: https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-dev/c/54AFJ_m8yXU/m/v4_UFNanAAAJ

p.p.s. I've been enjoying SDKMAN for managing Java versions and we now mention in here: https://preview.guides.gdcc.io/en/develop/developers/dev-environment.html
