Hello, AFAIK, OpenJPA still doesn't work with Java 8. Are there any plans of fixing this soon? Perhaps OpenJPA committers could give this some more priority?
Oracle public support for Java 7 will end after April this year, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/eol-135779.html If I understand well, this means that security issues in Oracle's Java 7 runtime will no longer be fixed so that an application using OpenJPA on Java 7 will become more and more vulnerable over time. The ticket for Java 8 was last updated in October 2014: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2386 Regards, Henno Vermeulen
