No CORBA in JDK9+

[aiannucci]

UUID relies on org.omg.CORBA.portable.IDLEntity which is no longer resolved by default in JDK9 modular system and it is likely to be removed completely in JDK11.
Right now, the workaround is to manually add the java.corba module by the --add-modules command line parameter.
Another option, is to add the CORBA standalone dependency to the project where UUID is used.

It would be nice to have a proper fix for newer Java versions.

Wouldn't it be simply an option that UUID does not inherit from IDLEntity? Is somebody really using this feature for CORBA?

[aiannucci]

Yes, that is the easy fix that we did in our UUID fork

When will a new version be made available with this fix?

[jdinesh86]

@aiannucci @xuwei-k was there a release after removing CORBA dependency? Appreciate if you can point me to a JDK9/11 compatible release.

[jdinesh86]

Is this maintained any more? @stephenc

@jdinesh86 we haven't published a release to Maven central, you can build it from our source code https://github.com/mulesoft/eaio-uuid
