Support for Java v11 and AZUL Java v8

gimkala.madhavi

Hi,

We are currently using RFA JAVA v8.0.0.L2. We want to know if RFA supports either JAVA v11 or AZUL Java v8. If so may I know in which version of RFA this is being supported?

Regards,

Madhavi

Hello @gimkala.madhavi

Currently, there is no any RFA Java version which supports JAVA v11 and AZUL Java v8. All RFA Java supports JDK 1.7 and 1.8 only.

You can find this info in the API Compatibility Matrix that shows our products compatibilities that we currently support as shown below:

Thanks for your response. How about in EMA? Is there any plan to support Java v11 or Azul v8 in EMA?

Also please let us know will there any feature upgrades for RFA in future?

With respect to RFA, this API is now "feature complete", i.e. no new features.

Hi,

As we
know Java 8 EOL is in near future (~January,2019). We have couple of queries around
RFA, can you please clarify below :

• 1.Is RFA
  v8.x compatible with open JDK? If yes which version and brand?

• 2.Please
  confirm again there is no future plan to migrate RFA to Java v11

• 3.If there
  is no plan to upgrade RFA , please let us know if there is any alternative plan
  for RFA after January,2019

Regards,

Madhavi

Hello @gimkala.madhavi

1. No. RFA v8.x is not compatible with open JDK. Please see the API Compatibility Matrix that shows our products compatibilities that we currently support

2. Yes. There is no future plan to migrate RFA to Java v11 because RFA is complete feature product.

3. As far as I know, there is no any alternative plan for RFA after January 2019.

I recommend you send an email to Iain Scott, iain.scott@thomsonreuters.com, who is RFA product owner and can provide you with the plan for RFA Java.

Hello @gimkala.madhavi

Our product owner informed that we don’t have any plans to support OpenJDK but we are planning JDK 1.9, 10 and 11 for this year for Elektron SDK. There is no plan for RFA to support other compilers.
