    • Jenkins 2.204.3 release candidate as included in my docker-lfs image on the lts-with-plugins-rc branch
      Running Java 8 shows the failure.
      Running Java 11 does not show the failure.
    • Jenkins 2.227

      Jenkins 2.204.3 release candidate build fails to open one or more folders in my test docker image when run with Java 8. It reports MethodNotFoundException for a CharBuffer rewind() method. It does not report that error when run with Java 11. Jenkins 2.220 does not report that error. Jenkins 2.204.2 does not report that error.

      The manifest included in the 2.204.3 rc jenkins.war file is:

      Manifest-Version: 1.0
      Build-Jdk-Spec: 11
      Created-By: Maven Archiver 3.4.0
      Hudson-Version: 1.395

      The manifest included in the 2.204.2 jenkins.war file is:

      Manifest-Version: 1.0
      Build-Jdk-Spec: 1.8

      Notice the difference in Build-Jdk-Spec.

      8. Connect to the running image with a web browser
        $ python -m webbrowser http://$(hostname):8080/
        
      9. Open each of the folders at the root of that Jenkins server. One of them will fail to an Oops screen (at least does on the 3 machines where I've tested)

      Some of the folders fail to open when I click them and I receive the following stack track in an "Oops" page on one instance:

      org.apache.commons.jelly.JellyTagException: jar:file:/var/jenkins_home/war/WEB-INF/lib/jenkins-core-2.204.3-SNAPSHOT.jar!/hudson/model/View/index.jelly:42:43: <st:include> org.apache.commons.jelly.JellyTagException: jar:file:/var/jenkins_home/war/WEB-INF/lib/jenkins-core-2.204.3-SNAPSHOT.jar!/lib/hudson/projectView.jelly:84:48: <j:forEach> java.nio.CharBuffer.rewind()Ljava/nio/CharBuffer;
      	at org.apache.commons.jelly.impl.TagScript.handleException(TagScript.java:726)
      	at org.apache.commons.jelly.impl.TagScript.run(TagScript.java:281)
      

      In the other test instance, the message appears in the console log and does not appear in the Jenkins Oops page. In the console log, it reports:

      2020-02-15 16:37:04.540+0000 [id=164374]        INFO    j.b.MultiBranchProject$BranchIndexing#run: Bugs-Pipeline-Checks/jenkins-bugs-multibranch-pipeline-bitbucket #20200215.093700 branch indexing action completed: SUCCESS in 3.6 sec

              at hudson.model.AbstractItem.getUrl(AbstractItem.java:537)
      

      I don't know why there is a difference in behavior. I don't know if the issue is related to something in my local environment, the Docker image definition that I'm using, or something completely different.

      The folders which fail to open are different in the two instances, but the stack traces seem to consistently be associated with CharBuffer.rewind().

      Later in the stack trace, it reports:

      Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.nio.CharBuffer.rewind()Ljava/nio/CharBuffer;
      	at hudson.Util.rawEncode(Util.java:886)
      

          [JENKINS-61105] 2.204.3 rc fails to open folder in Java 8, throws class not found exception

          Checking back, I have build this RC using openjdk 11.0.6 (unlike all previous ones). This appears to be common problem when built on 9+ and run on older release. The thing is, the return types of some overridden methods in JDK got more specific types than its superclasses have, which is binary-incompatible as the synthetic bridge methods are missing in older JDK runtime.

          I will try to confirm and do a re-spin. Long term fix would be to incorporate[1] so we can safely build on newer JDK while guaranteeing the compatibility for the older one.

          That's strange. We should have all the target JDK flags (--release) in place for Jenkins POMs. So builds by JDK11 should e compatible with JDK8... but apparently they are not.

          We will need to apply patches later, but for now it is better to just builds with JDK8

          I have squeezed in some test-ignoring fixes, verified all tests are passing now and will re-publish the RC.

          oleg_nenashev, this is the exact command that is being run: https://github.com/jenkins-infra/backend-commit-history-parser/blob/aab0dfe7f40c316058ca39eeae148efcddabf5e5/bin/publish-lts-rc#L17. Will have to dig deeper on why it does not pick up the --release flag.

          I could not find such a flag in jenkinsci/jenkins nor jenkinsci/pom. What is it supposed to look like?

          Oleg Nenashev added a comment - My assumption was that Maven Compiler does it automatically when target is set.  http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2016-October/009851.html But it looks like it is more straightforward:  https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/blob/24141bda1eff894367585f90aaf573461ac22370/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/compiler/AbstractCompilerMojo.java#L1705-L1725
