I don't think my previous comment was entirely correct. > OpenJPA 2.3.x and trunk should be functional with java8, but I don't think you can build OpenJPA with java8. Java 8 works with 2.2.x and trunk. I can't say for certain about the 2.3.x branch... that is maintained by the TomEE folks and I can't recall which changes they did / didn't pull in to support Java 8.
