Hello.
I've started porting some of my pet projects to JDK 8. Most of them use
Spring and AspectJ, so I did expect some problems related with bytecode
manipulation (as it happened at the beginning with JDK 7). Indeed, no
problems at the first smoke tests (with AspectJ 1.8.0.RC2) even though
there has been a sort of "retarded flame" - inconsistent and random
errors. I suppose I'll have to wait for the final AspectJ 1.8.0.
But this wasn't my goal for this post. I've also configured my Hudson so
all the other projects (still running with -source 1.7 and -target 1.7)
are also compiled with the JDK 8 in "7 mode". I've found a strange error
with AspectJ failing with a curious
The type java.lang.CharSequence cannot be resolved. It is indirectly
referenced from required .class files
Did some of you already made some experience with compiling with JDK 8?
Sure I wouldn't consider it mature for production until no problems appear
for several weeks, but I didn't expect to see existing projects break
without any change.
