https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-561
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-586

Now mod_cluster builds on JDK9 including the demo!

Merged 🙈

[rhusar]

@Karm bit of a premature merge. All fixes required for support branches need to be merged before upstream can be merged. Since we need to support JDK9 for 1.3 branch, it needs to be merged first.

[rhusar]

Opened #259 for 1.3.

Also, Jiras need to be resolved upon merge.

[rhusar]

Ok, the mess is cleaned up now.

@rhusar O.K. THX.

This caught my eye though:

Since we need to support JDK9 for 1.3 branch

Hmm, do we? I was under the impression we were going to release 2.0.0.Final for

• Tomcat 8.5
• Wildfly 11.something

but from your comment, it seems we are stuck on 1.3.x until

• Tomcat 9
• Wildfly 12

Could you elaborate more? Perhaps in an article on JBoss forum?

I am afraid we don't have a concrete timeline yet.
