Tapestry 5.5?

Hi,

I tried 5.5-alpha-3.
It works like a charm.

Thank you for your efforts!

Post by Jochen Kemnade
Hi,
you may have noticed that the most recent Tapestry release (5.4.3) does not
work with Java 9. This is mainly due to an outdated ASM release that we use
in plastic.
I have upgraded ASM to the latest stable release in the master branch,
along with some other dependencies (such as Selenium) and Gradle.
Rather than struggling with backports for 5.4, I'd say that we concentrate
on finishing 5.5.
I'm creating a 5.5-alpha-4 preview release right now and would like to move
on to beta stage (along with a first public release of the 5.5 line) soon.
Is there anything we need to do before that? Any blocker issues that come
to mind?
I've used 5.5-alpha-3 in production for several months now and have not
encountered any regression issues. Has anyone else given it a try?
Also, does anyone else have some spare time to help finish the release?
Jochen

I haven't had a chance to play with Java 9 yet. Thanks for the info!

Is there any struggle with backporting stuff for 5.4? I'd guess the ASM
upgrade
was just updating the version. Was it?

I cannot think of anything right now.

Next week is complicated for me, but the following one I can schedule some
time to help you.

Basically yet. Since we repackage ASM under the Tapestry namespace, I had to extract the new sources, remove a package that we don't use, and increase a method's invisibility (we have been doing that for a while).
But I don't know if ASM 6 is compatible with Java 6 (which we still support in the 5.4 line).

Great, let's make a public beta next week and see what needs to be done for a final release.

is it possible to apply patch from

while we are in alfa stage?

Thanks for the patch and the reminder, Michael.

I think that is is safe to apply the patch.
If mutiple threads arrive at the loader.loadClass(className) call at the same time, the PlasticClassLoader's loadClass implementation will synchronize anyway.
So, if there are no objections, I'll merge the patch into master later this week.
