A shim jar to put on your javac classpath to work around JDK-8206937.
It contains the API definitions of the classes in the jdk.unsupported module to allow compilation with a release target of 8 on newer java compilers.
It is covered under the CC0 (Public Domain Dedication) license, because most likely API shims like this do not fall under copyright law (see Oracle v Google lawsuit in the US).
Add the followind dependency specification to your compilation path (e.g. compileOnly configuration in gradle):
me.eigenraven.java8unsupported:java-8-unsupported-shim:1.0.0
Alternatively in maven pom.xml format:
<dependency>
<groupId>me.eigenraven.java8unsupported</groupId>
<artifactId>java-8-unsupported-shim</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>This enables using classes like sun.misc.Unsafe when compiling with javac --release 8.
