QuickBuild 6.x and Java 8 #3320

ikruusa ·
Hi,

Java 8 is not listed as supported version @ http://wiki.pmease.com/display/QB60/Ser ... tion+Guide . Is there any known issue why QB won't work with JDK 8?

A core library used by QB (mvel) has issues supporting JDK8, and it can cause issues when publishing various reports which heavily relies this library.

Do you have any plans how to handle that situation and ensure the compatibility with the JDK8? Maybe even an ETA? <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

We've submitted the issue to the library but do not hear the feedback yet. Refactoring the code to use other libraries is not trivial, and we'd like to wait for another year to see if it can be solved before we drop the library.

I wonder what the exact issue is here, the MVEL compilation issues with JDK8 were solved in mvel 2.2.0, which was released some months ago. I am unable to find any release notes and also the exact issue, as mvel was hosted in codehaus and that service has been shut down, but it used to be https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVEL-299
Could it be related?

I am not remembering the issue exactly. Too bad I can not query their issue database for my submitted one now. Will check with Steve (the issue happens with reporting publishing) to see if he remembered it.

The report engine and all publish report steps depend on MVEL heavily. But MVEL is suffering below issue:

The status of this issue seems still open.
