Hi all,
I am currently trying to run a Kotlin Notebook within Intellij with a JDK 20. Under Settings->Tools->Kotlin Notebook->JVM and Build, there is JDK Path. However, if I try to set it to a JDK 20, it is never accepted. Does anybody know if JDK 20 is supported for Kotlin Notebooks.
Thx
Adrian

Hi Adrian. Unfortunately it's not supported. The reason is removal of Thread.stop method (it throws UOE since Java 19): we use it to interrupt code execution. Without it, we're not able to interrupt the code containing infinite loop. for example. I hope in the future we'll find a solution for it (injecting isInterrupted checks when compiling the user code, for example)

Thx for the quick response!

Didn’t realize this, this is a major downside.

Wouldn’t it be possible to support 19 and higher and make it a responsibility of the client code used to check if interrupted was called (so no auto insertion of these checks).

For example for my roboquant framework, there is a logical place to put this check. And I expect that is the case for many long running tasks.

At least some newer jdk features would be available.

We will discuss it with the team. Thank you for the feedback!
