JDK 17 with Wildfly 26

[Sayantan Ganguly]

Hi,

How is wildfly code built with JDK 17? I am able to find java.security.acl package which does not compile with JDK 17. Are these used or taken care by toolchains or any other plugins? 

https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/26.x/iiop-openjdk/src/main/java/org/wildfly/iiop/openjdk/security/TrustedIdentityTokenLoginModule.java#L28

I am able to run Wildfly 26 with JDK 17, but source code compilation with JDK 17 fails.

Thanks,

Sayantan

For WildFly 26 when we released it was still released using Java 8, it was WildFly 27 that we started to build using Java 11. If you are continuing to build WildFly yourself sticking with Java 8 would be closer to how we released it.
