[jira] (MCOMPILER-221) JDK 8: Support Compact Profiles

["Christian Gossart (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-221?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=348322#comment-348322 ] 

Christian Gossart commented on MCOMPILER-221:
---------------------------------------------

For those who want to compile against a specific profile, let say "compact3" the following maven-compiler-plugin configuration is sufficient:
{code:xml}
<compilerArguments>
    <profile>compact3</profile>
</compilerArguments>
<source>8</source>
<target>8</target>
{code}

A direct call to java.beans.Beans.isDesignTime() which is not in the compact3 profile will produce the expected compilation error:
{code}
[ERROR] {...edited_path...}/springHelloWorld/src/main/java/hello/MessagePrinter.java:[4,18] java.beans.Beans is not available in profile 'compact3'
{code}

A "profile" property would be nice though, the same way we have "source" and "target" options.

>
> javac of JDK 8 provides a new compiler option: -profile
> This specifies a Compact Profile to build against.
> http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/javac.html
> Provide a "profile" property to the compile goal to support this.
> Make sure that if the value is empty the property is ignored.
