Update Travis configuration to fix build issues

Open pyrmont opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Travis builds were not working for either JDK 8 or JDK 9.

  1. JDK 8 builds were breaking because Travis now defaults to using Xenial unless specified and this release does not include any support for JDK 8. The solution is to specify the distribution as trusty (see discussion here).

  2. JDK 9 builds were breaking because Oracle no longer allows for direct downloads and so Travis switched to OpenJDK. This has SSL issues with JDK 9 and JDK 10. The solution was to use JDK 11 (see discussion here).

It seems it is possible to test against JDK 9 by following the instructions here. Is that something we want to do? Or is JDK 8 and 11 sufficient?
