Warning: Cannot use jsr199 Javac from jrt-fs.jar"

[Mandy Chung]

What is the parent class loader of the class loader defining the class from JDK 8 tools.jar?  Is it null?

>>> Yes, -source/-target/-Xbootclasspath (and now -release) for cross-compiling is another way, but it doesn't use the Javac of the user's project's JDK. The user can easily set up a cross-compile in JDeveloper, but some users want to use the actual Javac of their project's JDK.

I would expect it should work as before, assuming of course that your custom class loader that is loading from the targets tools.jar isn't doing parent-first delegation. The latter point is important because a consequence of the JEP 220 work is that types that were previously in tools.jar are always visible when running a class path application on the JDK.
