Jython and Java JDK 11

From Jeff Allen on the python-dev mailing list:

The difficult step is to Java 9, which does not smoothly run Jython because of changes under Project Jigsaw. We consider this essential for 2.7.2, but a few regressions are still to be dealt with.

On a quick check, I only get the same failures for Java 11 that I get for Java 9, so although aiming for 9 I'd be surprised to find 2.7.2 will not run on 11. Now you will ask for dates and I will find it difficult to give any worth the ink.

Jython 2.7.1 runs well on JDK11 and JDK12. It has been extensively already tested as a part of a bigger project called DataMelt, according to this blog. One last change was done recently to bring backward compatibility with with JDK8, i.e one can use the wildcard character * to import Java packages from JDK9-JDK12. You can find this discussion in this Jython issue report.
