Readme outdated, still says JDK8 when JDK9 is required #571

Can you submit a PR to update it? |

Or just update it directly. Invitation sent, you can accept it on this page https://github.com/perl6 |

Honestly I'd rather it was possible to keep supporting JDK8, given vendor side, we can't actually use anything newer yet. Confirming that using JDK9 is an inescapable reality is step 1 for getting this documentation changed IME. |

@kentfredric what about using rakudo 2019.03.1? The requirement was bumped in and 2019.07 2019.07.1 only. 2019.03.1 is also a great release. |
|
Currently my plan is to make 2019.07* available only using moarvm, and only support any/all jvm/moar for 2019.03.* and lower, at least until we can get a newer JDK in tree. It just means our ability to provide fully-fledged and recent editions of things are hampered by the minimum JDK requirement, and end-users will not be able to use 2019.07.1 with the JVM backend at all, so users wanting a JVM backend will be stuck with 2019.03.1 This isn't exactly a great situation, but I'm not in any position to do anything else about it ( Because getting newer JDK is much beyond the scope of things I can do, and requires vendor-wide action ) |
Note that this ebuild currently is unusable as: 1. Using moar w/ moar-9999 currently has an odd problem where it needs to use a non-existent "ffi.h" 2. Using jvm currently is unsupportable as upstream currently requires jdk-1.9/9, which we presently don't have any support for in Gentoo. Hopefully these issues won't be present when I use this ebuild as a base for the most recently shipped nqp release.

Invite accepted, however:
Do I still need to do a PR :) ? |

Fixed! Sorry! |

Done, and thanks :) |

Surely, the minimum is JDK9/1.9, not JDK8/1.8 as stated in README.pod:
https://github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/cd588c17dabd9732ca70ab05e9a2ae153e66f29e/README.pod#L35-L39
Especially as the "--release 9" parameter is completely not understood by JDK8.
