Carsten Ziegeler created SLING-2757:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Support Java 8 as a platform
Key: SLING-2757
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2757
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Launchpad
Affects Versions: Launchpad Base 2.4.0
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Fix For: Launchpad Base 2.5.0, Launchpad Base 2.5.2
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:
