Robert Munteanu commented on SLING-3146:
----------------------------------------
Hi Eric,
Thanks for raising this issue - it's entirely correct that your experience is
not the best one. To give you a little more background, the Sling download -
the Sling Launchpad - is an aggregate release of many bundles and artifacts,
including the base launchpad. SLING-2348 was filed against the base launchpad
and fixed, but we never did a full release of the Sling Launchpad 7 which is
expected to work against Java 7 and 8.
To run the Sling launchpad, either use Java 6 for the official Sling Launchpad
6 download , or build the latest svn trunk version according to [Getting and
building
Sling|http://sling.apache.org/documentation/development/getting-and-building-sling.html]
. This trunk version will work just fine with Java 7, and should work with
Java 8 as well.

> Key: SLING-3146
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3146
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation, Launchpad
> Environment: W7
> Reporter: Eric Estievenart
>
> When following instructions from "Discover Sling in 15 minutes"
> (http://sling.apache.org/documentation/getting-started/discover-sling-in-15-minutes.html),
> the steps ask to download org.apache.sling.launchpad-6-standalone.jar,
> and run it via java -jar ....
> Indeed when running it, I stumble upon an AIOB exception,
> which looks like the one described in SLING-2348.
> However this bug should have been fixed in May, 2012,
> and the jar seems to be from Jan, 2013.
> I'm not sure whether:
> - the link to the launchpad jar is the good one
> - the apache mirrors are providing the good file
> - or there has been a regression (in which case SLING-2348 should be reopened
> ?)
> In any case, the first impression is disappointing ;-)
> Thanks,
> Eric
