Hi fellow devs. I’m cross-posting this to logback-dev and log4j-dev since I think both projects may benefit from staying up-to-date on this topic. This JEP discusses a public replacement API for the internal sun.reflect.Reflection which at least Logback is currently using (if available) in ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.PackagingDataCalculator. http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/8043814 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8043814 This is just meant as a heads-up. Given that it’s not possible to just sign up for the openjdk JIRA to watch an issue I’m having a hard time staying in the loop. So more people keeping an eye on it won’t hurt. Discussion is supposed to happen on core-libs-dev@openjdk.java.net but the latest mail I could find about the topic was written on 2014-07-09... Cheers, Jörn.
