> Key: SLING-2681
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2681
> Project: Sling

> Affects Versions: Launchpad Base 2.4.0

> The Sling launchpad currently has Java platform definitions for Java 5, 6,
> and 7 but is lacking them for Java 8. As a consequence the framework fails to
> start on Java 8 platforms with exceptions such as:
