HI Henri, I recommend you try this:
- for jdk8 use the "current/old" build system until jdk8 officially switches over to the new build system and deprecates the old one. - for jigsaw use the "current/old" build system until jigsaw does a merge from jdk8 with the new build system that is capable of supporting jigsaw and its modules. - for lambda use the new build system (it's what the developers of lambda have chosen to use, thats about official as it gets :-) ). By the time lambda gets integrated into jdk8 the "current/old" system may or may not be deprecated. If you have any issues building on certain platforms i would strongly recommend reporting such issues to the build infra team. FWIW i have had no issues building lambda on my Mac. I am not privy to any schedules regarding the new build system. Hth, Paul.
