I'm just a user, but EasyMock has partial support for Java 11 in master. For full support, it needs a cglib release with the following:

cglib/cglib#131

Then users can set the appropriate property to be able to mock classes with Java 11 bytecode.

Thanks @ijuma. I will try to release this will to fix this (finally might have some time).

Hi all, is there any schedule available when an EasyMock release for Java 11 will be available? Thank you!

[henri-tremblay]

September. I am currently underwater but should get out in about a week.

[ijuma]

If we merge #225, then we can release a new version of EasyMock that works with Java 11.

[ijuma]

@henri-tremblay Are we any closer here? :)

[KryniuPL]

Can anyone comment on dependencies of objenesis library in new version of EasyMock?

[henri-tremblay]

Objenesis will also be released. And then EasyMock

[ijuma]

FYI, Java 11 has been released https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/announce/2018-September/000257.html

All set for release?

[henri-tremblay]

No. To give you a heads up, I need to fix the usage of Unsafe.defineClass in Objenesis. It is a known problem already fixed in other frameworks. So it won't take long. When I'm done, I will deliver it and then deliver EasyMock.

@henri-tremblay this is a good news 👍

Seems like we're close :) d1b032c

Yes, but still use JDK internal API :)

[henri-tremblay]

@przemekwolski8 Yes. Since 2003. You can't do magical things without it. Unless they add Unsafe.allocateInstance to the JDK. I'm all for it.

@henri-tremblay should we still expect a 3.7 release with jdk11 support? I see you bumped master to 4.0

[henri-tremblay]

No. It will be 4.0. Not much changes though. So no need to worry I think. I'm just dropping > 1.8 support. Since Objenesis also dropped it. I hope it's not a problem for you.
