Comment 2 Miroslav Šulc gentoo-dev 2021-04-29 08:26:07 UTC
thanks. though if fixed this way, if the jar file is already installed, its bytecode won't be converted to java 1.8 and so the jar file will not work with java 11. for new installs this will work fine. the recommended way is a revbump so that the jar file bytecode is updated to 1.8.

Comment 7 Daniel Nilsson 2021-04-29 16:44:12 UTC
Forgot to add this:
GENTOO_VM=openjdk-8  CLASSPATH="" JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib64/openjdk-8"
JAVACFLAGS="-source 1.8 -target 1.8" COMPILER=""

I have dev-java/openjdk-8.272_p10 installed, will update to dev-java/openjdk-8.292_p10 and see if it makes any difference.
Comment 8 Daniel Nilsson 2021-04-29 17:03:10 UTC
Same issue with the newer openjdk version.
Comment 9 Miroslav Šulc gentoo-dev 2021-04-29 17:20:22 UTC
seems i found the cause. in the ClassReader constructor there is this condition:

        if (readShort(6) > Opcodes.V1_7) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException();
        }

which imo checks java version (in fact not java itself but source/target - that is bytecode, simply said) and if it is greater than 1.7, it throws that exception.

the fix is this:

diff --git a/sys-libs/db/db-5.3.28-r7.ebuild b/sys-libs/db/db-5.3.28-r7.ebuild

with this change that version compiles fine.


i suppose this has to be done on all versions < 6, lower db versions might even require lower jdk/jre version specified, i did not test those. on my system i have sys-libs/db-6.0.35-r4:6.0 and that compiles fine with jdk 1.8 so versions 6+ should be ok with jdk 1.8.

I just tested most of the older versions, and only db-5.3 seems to fail with java 1.8.

Comment 12 Miroslav Šulc gentoo-dev 2021-04-29 17:28:32 UTC
just a note. it would be more correct to specify virtual/jdk:1.7 but that does not pass repoman/pkgcheck. but the patch i posted before should do the trick and make things work.

there is also an option to change the condition in ClassReader to this (version 1.8):

if (readShort(6) > Opcodes.V1_8) {

but that would need testing whether things are not broken. they might have the test there for a reason...

that's really interesting :-) thanks for doing the testing :-)

There is no version of virtual/jdk that has SLOT="1.7", so of course such a dependency would fail.

I'm sure you have heard this before, but parsing DEPEND in the eclass to alter build time behavior is really weird.

I think the java eclasses should be using a separate variable to specify the java source version instead of inferring it from DEPEND.

I can confirm that this fixes the issue for me.
Thank you for the quick fix!

I found db-6.0.35-r4 also wouldn't emerge without the above fix (same diagnostics as in comment#4), so my experience is different to that described in the comment above.
