      It's just a master issue for all compatibility issues between IBM J9 and Jenkins.
      Most probably, the complete fix requires multiple changes in various places.

          [JENKINS-23176] IBM J9 seems to be unsupported on Jenkins

          Any guestimate/ETA on a fix for this? There are specific java builds we need to do on IBM JRE/J9 and our only option is to stay on an older version of Hudson.

          Unfortunately, nobody has took the issue, hence there's no ETAs at all.

          Oleg: IMO this meta issue is a bad idea. We're likely to only get comments like John's here.


          John: The Jenkins process' JVM and the javac process are independent, so you should be able to run Jenkins with Oracle JDK/JRE, and build with J9 (except with Maven job type, maybe). Also, most or all of the issues seem to only apply to the Jenkins master. Try running the master on another JDK, then add a slave running J9. Also, possible solutions are best discussed on the jenkinsci-users mailing list.

          Hi Daniel, thanks for the hint/reminder about running specific jobs to specific JDK. We are now able to build what we need to under IBM J9. The criticality of this issue is lessened for us. And now others who come to this issue will also have a workaround.

          Two more issues that may be related to IBM J9.

          We've intentionally removed OpenJ9 from the Jenkins Docker images so that we can focus our platform portability efforts on the Hotspot JVM with Java 11 on s390x, ppc64le, arm64, and amd64.
