Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-7644: ----------------------------------------- As version 2.3.4 is mentioned in our parent pom, it's impossible to build our java 7 based modules with Java 7. So we have two options, either move back to 2.3.2 for our parent pom and declare that the maven sling plugin requires Java 8 or fix this Java 8 dependency in 2.3.6 and change our parent pom to 2.3.6 But the way it is atm does not make that much sense. > Maven-Sling-Plugin requires Java 8 > ---------------------------------- > > Key: SLING-7644 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7644 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Maven Plugins and Archetypes > Affects Versions: Maven Sling Plugin 2.3.4 > Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: Maven Sling Plugin 2.3.6 > > > When using the maven sling plugin 2.3.4 with Java 7, the following error > occurs: > [ERROR] Failed to execute goal > org.apache.sling:maven-sling-plugin:2.3.4:generate-adapter-metadata > (generate-adapter-metadata) on project org.apache.sling.resourceresolver: > Execution generate-adapter-metadata of goal > org.apache.sling:maven-sling-plugin:2.3.4:generate-adapter-metadata failed: > An API incompatibility was encountered while executing > org.apache.sling:maven-sling-plugin:2.3.4:generate-adapter-metadata: > java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: javax/json/JsonException : > Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 > [ERROR] ----------------------------------------------------- > [ERROR] realm = plugin>org.apache.sling:maven-sling-plugin:2.3.4 > [ERROR] strategy = org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.strategy.SelfFirstStrategy > [ERROR] urls[0] = > file:/Users/cziegeler/.m2/repository/org/apache/sling/maven-sling-plugin/2.3.4/maven-sling-plugin-2.3.4.jar > [ > Reverting to version 2.3.2 fixes the problem -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
