Caciocavallo bug on JDK > 8u40b06

[Severin Gehwolf]

Hi,

There is a caciocavallo bug due to X11FontManager made final[1]. We hit
this problem in Thermostat with cacio-tta version 1.3 on JDK 9 (or a
more recent OpenJDK 8 build). Reproducer is attached.

Is there any chance for you to do a cacio release ([3] depends on the
change in [2]) and get patch in [2] pushed to JDK 9. Then backport [2]
to JDK 8.

Perhaps cacio could be made compatible with more JDKs by checking the
version? I do see this problem surface soon for more people since JDK
8u40 will be GA soon.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Severin
