Java 9

[Ari Maniatis]

Is there much work required to bring protobuf up to Java 9? I see some tasks like https://github.com/protostuff/protostuff/issues/239  but does anyone have visibility on how much work is needed to fix this?

I know this project is mostly dormant, but its also mostly bug free, so not a lot of development is needed. But I think this one is going to start to cause issues.

Not much but the devs don't use that version which is a problem.  No proper tests for a solution.

Forgive my newbieness here if I'm asking something obvious.  I know I'm adding to a question that's a year old, hope this gets a response.

I may have run into a java 9 issue.  I'm trying to compile an existing open source project using mvn that works fine with java 8.  When I set my java to java11, I hit issues with protostuff.

Specifically, I think maybe it's because java 8 relies on javax.annotations.Generated while java 9 relies on javax.annotations.processing.Generated?  The generated file has javax.annotations.Generated in it.

I did see this (but I'll admit I don't follow everything completely): https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/3633

So question:  Is the "correct" fix to change the protostuff to generate the java 9 version of "Generated"?  I'm hesitant to hack around the issue.  Or am I totally off base?

Thanks!
