-Xbootclasspath/p is no longer a supported option in Java9

[Paul]

Hi Laurent,

I can patch my app using java8 and the unsafe.jar, but I'm using 9, which gives me "-Xbootclasspath/p is no longer a supported option."

How do I patch now? I'm using the standard Oracle JDK at the moment.

One other question, please: does Marlin target only vector graphics, or will it offer improvements to my canvas.getGraphicsContext().drawImage(image,x,y);  (JavaFX) calls too? 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Right. The Java module system changed lots of things in Java9+.

For that purpose, I released the first Marlin 0.8.2 for jdk9 & 10, tested on Oracle & Openjdk 9 / 10:

https://github.com/bourgesl/marlin-renderer/releases/tag/v0.8.2_jdk9_b2

To patch your jdk, you should use:

java --patch-module java.desktop=<path>/marlin-0.8.2-Unsafe-OpenJDK9.jar ...

FYI jdk9 has Marlin 0.7.4 (june 2016), jdk10 has Marlin 0.8.2 already (since EA build 36).

One other question, please: does Marlin target only vector graphics, or will it offer improvements to my canvas.getGraphicsContext().drawImage(image,x,y);  (JavaFX) calls too? 

The Marlin renderer is dedicated to shape rasterization in Java2d, MarlinFX to Shape / Canvas path in JavaFX. 

It has no impact on image primitives.

If you are using JavaFX, you should use the MarlinFX 0.8.2 release for jdk9+ 

https://github.com/bourgesl/marlin-fx/releases/tag/v0.8.2_jdk9_b2

Use the given option to patch the javafx.graphics module (jfx9 has MarlinFX 0.7.5)

Thanks, Laurent,

That works without issue,
