I have built this with the latest Oracle Java 8u20 JVM and the tests still randomly fail i.e. two out of three builds with Oracle Java 8 were successful.
Which leads to two possible reasons for the failure: One of the build deps has been replaced with a later version and is causing the breakage. The last re-builds [un]luckily built successfully even though a sporadic test failure bug existed.
