Java JDK 9, no tools.jar...

[gustavo_mindreau]

Good morning,

I just installed JDK 9 (build 9.0.4+11)
NetRexx compiler does not work anymore.

In JDK 8 it worked with CLASSPATH .../lib/tools.jar
But there is no tools.jar file anymore...

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/migrate/toc.htm#JSMIG-GUID-A78CC891-701D-4549-AA4E-B8DD90228B4B
Removed rt.jar and tools.jar   Class and resource files previously stored in lib/rt.jar, lib/tools.jar, lib/dt.jar and various
other internal JAR files are stored in a more efficient format in implementation-specific files in the lib directory.

Also the jre/lib/ext path does not exist anymore...
Any updated suggestions on how to install NetRexx in a Java 9 environment ?

Sincerely,
Gus

Hi Gus,

It does not work yet. You have to stay on java 8 for the time being. Java decided to change runtime mechanisms that did work since its inception.
