Support for JRE-9 on SQUIRREL JDBC client

Does anyone know when SQuirreL the JDBC Client will support java-9?

At the moment I get an error that the version is not supported, It fails while testing the java version on the start-up script.

Does anyone know when a release for 9 will be out?

I downloaded the latest SqlSquirrel and still got the message. How I solved it was to add my current JDK version to squirrel-sql.bat, on the line where it checks versions...

"%LOCAL_JAVA%" -cp "%SQUIRREL_SQL_HOME%\lib\versioncheck.jar" JavaVersionChecker 1.8 9 10 11 12 13.0.2

In my case, I had to add 13.0.2.

You could download the latest snapshot which has support for Java 9 but there is no support in the official release yet and if you do the workaround to get past the version check then the application can't be closed.

What I did was override the VM to version 8. In the install folder there are two files:

  • squirrel-sql.bat
  • squirrel-sql.sh

In the .bat file I looked for the following line and changed it to point to a Java 8 VM.

set "IZPACK_JAVA=%JAVA_HOME%"

In the .sh file I made a similar change on this line.

IZPACK_JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jre-9.0.1

Squirrel will try to startup with this IZPACK JAVA_HOME first so it overrides whatever the system JAVA_HOME is set to.

I commented out the version check within the squirrel-sql.bat.

@rem "%LOCAL_JAVA%" -cp "%SQUIRREL_SQL_HOME%\lib\versioncheck.jar" JavaVersionChecker 1.6 1.7 1.8
@rem if ErrorLevel 1 goto ExitForWrongJavaVersion

Put @rem in front of those two lines.
