An update on the above topic. I have updated (or not, as noted) the following builds to Java 8, giving the results shown as compared against the status before I made the update, where "ok" means successful build, "-" is disabled, "x" is failing, and "unstable" is, er, unstable (yellow).
Most builds look ok, the two of concern are brooklyn-dist-master and brooklyn-master-build. Also the brooklyn-integration-tests had 28 test failures rather than the previous 20, but I don't know how consistent the number of failures are from run to run, will investigate further. For brooklyn-dist-master what seems to be happening is that the java build of all modules succeeds but there are errors in the archiving stage, or the job times out. (I do note that some runs get scheduled on slaves that appear from the "System Information" tab to not have Java 8 on them, but will need to look into that some more). For brooklyn-master-build again I've got timeouts. I shall continue investigating these tomorrow. Please be patient until we get this sorted out. (And any advice is welcome!) regards Geoff before after updated to 8?
