12:49 aditsu oh jeez, java 11 also removed the activation framework
12:49 pdurbin what does it do?
12:49 aditsu well.. I don't have a clear answer, but it's used by javamail
12:51 pdurbin oh
12:51 aditsu https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51794800/noclassdeffounderror-cant-send-email
12:53 aditsu I guess I need a separate jar now for the activation thing
12:54 aditsu [daily reminder that I hate maven]
13:07 mr_lou joined ##friendlyjava
16:48 aditsu so much for "write once, run anywhere"...
17:01 mr_lou eh...
17:01 mr_lou Didn't the "truth" in that die like decades ago?
17:06 mr_lou Well, movie time.
17:06 mr_lou Later

18:12 aditsu um.. not to any significant extent, until now
18:46 mr_lou aditsu, What has happened now?
18:47 aditsu mr_lou: java 11 has happened, which removed a whole bunch of things from the standard library
18:47 mr_lou Yea, I noticed that long time ago.
18:48 mr_lou Sad
18:48 aditsu really? it was just released a couple of months ago
18:50 mr_lou Hm... maybe I'm thinking about Java 9. Some new Java version anyway that prevented me from coding BD-J.
18:51 aditsu I ignored java 9 and 10 since they were practically beta versions; also, I think they didn't fully remove things until java 11
18:51 mr_lou I'm gonna stick with Java 8 for as long as possible.
18:52 mr_lou I need BD-J dev options.
18:52 mr_lou I need to be able to dev for 1.3
18:58 aditsu I don't think "write once, run anywhere" applies to your case, as 1) you're coding for a specific platform and 2) you're having potential problems with the "write" part, not with the "run" part
19:00 mr_lou Well..... mkay. But I'm coding for Blu-ray - which runs "anywhere" - and Java 11 prevents me to "code once". ;-)
19:38 pdurbin mr_lou: red hat is going to keep patching Java 8 for a while
19:39 pdurbin https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/09/24/the-future-of-java-and-openjdk-updates-without-oracle-support/
19:40 pdurbin so you should be fine staying on Java 8 for a while
19:40 aditsu I would imagine that Sony has a vested interest in keeping blu-ray development alive
19:52 pdurbin yeah
19:56 mr_lou aditsu, Yea, but I bet it's via other tools. I.e. Java 11 tools that just produce the bytecode in some other way.
19:56 mr_lou Oldschool coding is considered unreliable I think.
19:56 aditsu can't you still achieve the same results?
19:57 mr_lou Dunno. I don't know these tools. They are crazy expensive.
19:57 mr_lou I prefer coding.
19:58 aditsu oh, I thought it was something free
20:07 aditsu mr_lou: I wonder if this can help: http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/
20:08 aditsu code for java 5, translate the bytecode for 1.3
20:28 mr_lou I think I've stumbled across that earlier. Not sure how well it works.
21:51 mr_lou Bedtime, g'nite
