Java8 and APT
Hi all,
I just gave the new Java8 EA b120 a spin and the only things failing are
the apt tests[1] (and there still are > 100 javadoc errors, but that's a
different story).
If anybody familiar with apt could give it a look that would be great.
It may be worth fixing this before 1.9.3. OTOH if nobody finds the time
to do so, we should not delay the release IMHO.

and the tests don't compile as the com.sun.mirror.apt package is nowhere

examples to tell whether only the tests are broken or the task is broken
as well.

We already have a warning in the manual:
"Be advised that the Apt tool does appear to be an unstable part of the JDK
framework, so may change radically in future versions. In particular it is
likely to be obsolete in JDK 6, which can run annotation processors as part
of javac."
So just a hint would be enought.

Hello,
in fact the apt command line executable does not exist in Java 1.8.
Our best bet is most likely to say that the apt task does not run under Java 1.8 and bypass the apt tests under Java 1.8
I just did that.
Regards,
Antoine
