Hi all,

In commit 6f058ada, GNU Classpath was moved to staging with the comment:

"Old, obsolete package that fails to build with OpenJDK 9"

I am using this on several BSPs on different platforms without
problems; I wouldn't say it is "obsolete" (for many use cases there is
no obvious replacement).

Indeed it does not currently build with OpenJDK 9, however is that
really a requirement? OpenJDK 9 introduced some pretty disruptive
changes that break many existing Java applications / libraries, and
fixing this is not trivial. It does build just fine with OpenJDK 8,
though.

Can we move this out of staging ?

Regards,

Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia

I was wrong. GNU Classpath does not currently build with OpenJDK 8. I
am looking into this now.

Sorry for the noise.

Best,

Guillermo
