Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-5949:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: derby-5949-01-aa-addJava8.diff

Attaching derby-5949-01-aa-addJava8.diff. This patch adds PropertySetter support for Java 8 environments. I am running regression tests on Java 7 now.

After applying this patch, I can build Derby on my mac using Open JDK 8 by setting the java18compile.classpath property like this:

java18compile.classpath=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0/classes

However, the build still fails during the generation of toursdb because of VerifyErrors, as described on DERBY-6000. 

If the tests pass, I intend to commit this patch. This will allow me to continue work on DERBY-6000. However, this issue needs to remain open until we verify that we can build cleanly on Open JDK 8 after the VerifyErrors are fixed there.
