Support to JAVA 17

[dagos83]

When is planned to add support on JAVA 17?
We have some problems with Windows and JAVA 17 on these classes:
WindowsTableHeaderUI and its extensions.

Code: Select all

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: superclass access check failed: class com.jidesoft.plaf.windows.WindowsCellStyleTableHeaderUI (in unnamed module @0x1ab3a8c8) cannot access class
com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsTableHeaderUI (in module java.desktop) because module java.desktop does not export com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows to unnamed module @0x1ab3a8c8

Is it possible to have a timeline for the full support of Java 17?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

We can create a separate version that runs on Java 17 but it will lose a significant amount of features. We are not sure if worth doing it.

[dagos83]

Thank you for your answer.
Can we have a list of the features that will be lost?

Pretty much anything related to Windows native intergration or Sync L&F integration. For example, ExComboBox that looks like Windows native ComboBox. RangeSlider that looks like Windows native slider. We will do some estimate. The whole problem here is now we will have to have two code branches to maintain which is really pain.

[dagos83]

Thank you for your reply, we understand your pain.
For what we saw the involved UI are these:
- CellStyleTableHeaderUI
- SortableTableHeaderUI
- NestedTableHeaderUI
- EditableTableHeaderUI
- AutoFilterTableHeaderUI
- GroupTableHeaderUI
- ExComboBoxUI
Am I right?
Probably, since we use another L&F, is not a problem for us to lose windows functionality.
When is it possible to have the new version?

Concerning Look&Feel Investigantions

please have a deeper look at: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf

This is a really amazing thing and opportunity to get closer to WebUI Designs.

Hello, we have some customers requesting that our software supports Java17 and one of the components in our software is Jide, so we are also very interested in Jide support for Java17.
Is there any news about the timeline for Jide support for Java17?

Hi scardenasg,

Here is what I replied earlier.

We will do some estimates. The whole problem here is now we will have to have two code branches to maintain which is really painful.
