Java9 now in Clear Linux
by Jimenez Gonzalez, Athenas
Openjdk 9 is now available in “java9-basic” bundle. This release includes interesting features like a read-eval-print-loop (REPL) tool called jShell, a new modularity capabilities that offers an easier way to assemble and maintain the code, new HTTP Client with support for HTTP/2 protocol, etc.
“java9-basic” bundle can be easy installed with swupd as follows:
# swupd bundle-add java9-basic
Please notice that “java9-basic” bundle does NOT replace “java-basic” bundle, on the other hand both of them can be installed in the same system.
Openjdk 8 will remain as the default Java installation. The Openjdk 9 commands will be available with a “9” at the end of their names. Eg. java9, javac9, javadoc9.
