Description

WIP at https://github.com/uber/NullAway/tree/ms/jdk-11. We should get the core NullAway functionality working first. Some notes:

  • I don't think coveralls works yet
  • Android-related sample app building will be a pain
  • This JarInfer-related code won't work on JDK 11; see here. We should probably disable this handler by default and enable via a flag anyway (along with a couple other rarely-used handlers).

Research direction

Review the WIP branch at ms/jdk-11 and first establish the core NullAway functionality that must work on JDK 11. Inspect nullaway/src/main/java/com/uber/nullaway/handlers/InferredJARModelsHandler.java around the linked code, then assess the coveralls and Android sample app notes. Done means core functionality works on JDK 11 and the listed incompatibilities have a decided resolution.
