I should have added that we compile for Java 9 bytecode with the
- -Dpermit.jdk9.builds=true switch in visualvm and in
libnb-platform18-java. No surprises here that it won't work with
OpenJDK 8. What we can and probably should do is to force OpenJDK 11
by using a stricter dependency on default-jdk (>= 2:1.11) | java11-sdk
and by also updating the 03-launcher.patch and remove the alternative
search paths for OpenJDK 7 and OpenJDK 8. The result is that visualvm
simply will not start anymore and quit with "No jdkhome found" if
someone uses an unsupported JDK.
