Split packages cause error with Java 9

[tbabinski]

The affinity library defines classes in the java.lang package. This is not allowed in Java 9, since the java.lang package is already exported by the java.base module

Here is the error:

error: module affinity reads package java.lang from both java.base and affinity

This is due to the fact that ThreadTackingGroup needs to override package-private methods on the java.lang.ThreadGroup class.

Java 9 support for Chronicle libraries is on-going, this will be added to the backlog.

Can't run my chronicle queue application on Java 10 :(. Is there a workaround for this?

[dpisklov]

@andrm Not yet I'm afraid. Our next target Java release we will support is Java 11, which is coming in September (as most commercial clients of ours will be migrating from 8 to 11 after 8 is EOL). At the moment we have no clients who are using versions past Java 8. However if you're interested in commercial support please contact sales@chronicle.software

Thanks. Workaround: Run everything on the classpath. Works with Java 10.

For clarity - This is not required for the 9 java compatibility, in other words this code should run on java 9 but it will only cause an issue if it is compiled with java 9. We are not planning to do this in the near future, so for now closing as wont fix.
