["James Kosin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-669?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13942664#comment-13942664 ] 

James Kosin commented on OPENNLP-669:
-------------------------------------

Commons Email suffered from a similar issue.
Changes seem to include < > being replaced with &lt; and &gt;
No usage of </br> tags and replace with <p> </p> blocks
Replacing shorthand & with full word 'and'

This may be just the tip of the ice burg. I'm trying to fix this first.

> I just wanted to let everyone know, the OpenNLP project is not compatible with the new Java 1.8.
> I get two (2) issues:
> 1)    Fails test:
>    Failed tests:
> testPerceptronOnPrepAttachDataWithStepSizeDecrease(opennlp.tools
>    .ml.perceptron.PerceptronPrepAttachTest):
>    expected:<0.7756870512503095> but was:
>    <0.7766773953948998>
> 2)    Java document generation fails miserably.
>    [ERROR] *    <li>.bin --> the file is binary

>    n\java\opennlp\tools\postag\POSModel.java:64: error: reference not found
> The second for javadoc errors are probably due to more stringent checking in javadoc.
> The first... is a bit disconcerting and troubling.  I'm going to check into this; because this error shouldn't be happening.
