Hi,

Payara server doesn't support JDK 9+ yet. And I really doubt that GlassFish for runs on JDK 10 but even if it does it doesn't mean that Payara Server should. You need to wait until support for JDK 9+ is added.

Thanks for the answer.

However,
I am looking for a better solution than just wait for JDK9 support (eventually JDK10).

Anyone on the group got ideas?

Under a support contract for Payara you also receive support for Azul Zulu OpenJDK builds which will provide long term support for JDK 8 running Payara 4 and Payara 5 including all security updates to the JDK.

At Payara we are targeting JDK 11 as our future supported JVM as that will be an LTS release. Supporting JDK 11 requires us to recompile all third party dependencies with JDK 11 as JDK 11 removes classes that were available in JDK 8. We hope to complete this work in the 191 release timeframe.
