The rationale behind this is long term support of Tomcat 9.0.
- FFM support is likely desirable starting with the Java 25 LTS release
- Java 25 cannot be used to compile Tomcat 9.0
- Testsuite improvements for TLS from 10.1+ are needed in the long run
Ant javac task provides a solution to these issues by specifying a javac
executable, which will then be used to compile the FFM related classes.
Requiring a FFM enabled javac makes building releases more complicated but
works and allows moving forward.
A new ${java-ffm.home} property needs to be specified and needs to point to
a JDK 22+ with javac. The javac version used will be logged in the release
properties so that the build can be reproduced (although it will obviously be
more error prone than before).
