-------------------------------
Summary: JDK 8: build fails due to missing apt tool
Key: WW-4402
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4402
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build Management
Affects Versions: 2.3.16.3
Environment: JDK 8
Reporter: Rene Gielen
Fix For: 2.5
The generation of Struts Taglib TLD files relies on annotation processing with
the apt tool, wrapped by maven-apt-plugin.
In JDK 7 apt has been
[deprecated|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/apt/GettingStarted.html]
in favor of [JSR 269|https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=269]. In JDK 8 apt tool
has been [removed completely|http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/117].
In effect, Struts core and all tag library projects relying on the
struts-annotation helper library won't build any longer under JDK 8. A major
effort is needed to introduce a compatible replacement.
