-----------------------------------

             Summary: Java 1.8 incompatibility and Build failures
                 Key: OPENNLP-669
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-669
             Project: OpenNLP
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build, Packaging and Test, Documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
         Environment: Windows 8.1 Java 1.8
            Reporter: James Kosin
            Assignee: James Kosin


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
   [ERROR] ^
   [ERROR]
C:\Users\jkosin\Documents\Projects\OpenNLP\opennlp\opennlp-tools\src\mai
n\java\opennlp\tools\ml\perceptron\SuffixSensitivePerceptronModelWriter.java:41:
     error: bad use of '>'
   [ERROR] *    <li>.bin --> the file is binary
   [ERROR] ^
   [ERROR]
C:\Users\jkosin\Documents\Projects\OpenNLP\opennlp\opennlp-tools\src\mai
   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.
