Fwd: indexing JDK 10 from code running on Java 8

[Roman Shevchenko]

Hi,

at the moment, IDEA is unable to index JDK 10 classes because
lib/jrtf-s.jar is incompatible with Java 8. Migrating IDEA to Java 9 is one
possible solution, but I'm afraid it will take more time than there is left
before 18.3 nightly builds will start to appear. What other options do we
have?

The problem:

  java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.nio.ByteBuffer.limit(I)
