JRE 9.01 - JWS error when invoking applet

Im using Oracle JRE 9.1, and trying to execute an applet (Oracle Forms) through Java Web Start. On my JNLP file its defined by the tag applet-desc.

It works on Oracle Java 6,7 and 8. But with the version 9, i get the following error:

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class oracle.forms.engine.Main
 (in unnamed module ... ) cannot access class sun.applet.AppletViewer 
(in module java.desktop) because module java.desktop does not
 export sun.applet to unnamed module ...

I know that applets are deprecated on 9, but it should be only a warning right ?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Solution

  • Java 9 is not supported by Oracle Forms. You should still use Java 8.

    They have also posted an article that says that Oracle Forms won't support java 9 in the future.
