Incompatible change to java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation

[Sven Reimers]

Hi all,

as part of the process of the code donation from Oracle to Apache for
NetBeans I tried a compilation of the source code using idk 9-ea+173. The
compilation fails due to an added method boolean isModifiableModule(Module)
in java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation.

Should the newly added method on the interface Instrumentation have a
default implementation to make this change source code compatible from 8 to
9, e.g.

default boolean isModifiableModule(Module module) {

    return false;

}


Is it already to late for changing this before JDK 9 release?

Thanks for considering

Sven
