JDK 8 GA
Just got news that JDK 8 is production-ready, and GA will be announced next Tuesday, March 25: http://mreinhold.org/blog/jdk8-ga
Just wondered if anyone had tried Pivot using Java 8? I know other major projects at Apache (including Maven, Commons, and probably others) have been testing pre-production versions...
Cheers,
~Roger

Just created:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-939
to track this first issue.
If other issues should happen related to Java 8, probably it would be
good to create a tag for all them (java8 ?) in JIRA.

Hi all, a small update:
using OpenJDK and limit builds to ubuntu server (for Jenkins) all
works :-) ... but with JDK 8 now we get this compile error:
[javac] <https://builds.apache.org/job/Pivot-trunk%20on%20Java%208/ws/pivot_trunk/wtk/src/org/apache/pivot/wtk/BrowserApplicationContext.java
>:395: error: cannot find symbol
[javac] JSObject window =
JSObject.getWindow(applicationHostApplet);
[javac] ^
[javac] symbol: method getWindow(HostApplet)
[javac] location: class JSObject
could be due to some (new) restriction on JSObject classes ... we have
to make some check.
Let's update.
Bye,
Sandro

Hi all,
just defined a new Jenkins Job to build our trunk with JDK 8, here:
https://builds.apache.org/job/Pivot-trunk%20on%20Java%208/
but currently it's disabled because there isn't available a JDK 8 in
Jenkins servers ... I hope to enable it soon.
In the meantime I'll ask to Infra to install it.

Sandro

Hi Roger,
I downloaded it yesterday (it's available now), but didn't tried it.
I can look at Apache Jenkins and do a new build of Pivot trunk with a
JDK 8 (if available, otherwise ask to Infra to add it) ...
Lambda expressions could be very useful to simplify some parts of
code, Nashorn (the new and complete JavaScript Scripting engine) could
be great even for us (js scripts now can run even directly from the
command line with a dedicated tool, jjs, other that the usual
jrunscript), etc ...
And JavaFX continues to evolve ...
Anyway, if someone has some feedback on it, tell us.
Bye,
Sandro
