Hi, we have now set the compiler target version to 1.8 in the source code, meaning you will need Java 8 installed in order to build and deploy DHIS 2 trunk.
If you are on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS you may want to use Oracle Java 8, instructions for installing through webup8 here <http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html>. OpenJDK 8 should be available for most other OS, on linux you can install with package name "openjdk-8-jdk". If necessary, make sure you update env variables (JAVA_HOME) and make sure maven builds with Java 8. If using Eclipse you need to add the JDK/JRE from window - preferences - installed JREs. Note that the "perm gen" space has been removed in favor of metaspace <https://dzone.com/articles/java-8-permgen-metaspace>, meaning the "XX:PermSize" and "XX:MaxPermSize" java opts no longer have any impact. regards, Lars -- Lars Helge Øverland Lead developer, DHIS 2 University of Oslo Skype: larshelgeoverland http://www.dhis2.org <https://www.dhis2.org>
