We found the issue already, thanks for the bump in priority ! The jdk issue tracker does not allow us much in the way of features (like issue watching !)
There is a comment I'd like to make about the issue comment of us reporting this issue "6 months ago". 6 months ago was M7, labeled as "feature complete" according to the JDK8 plan. Our code base is *huge* and there's a fair amount of weird stuff going on, and I think most of us on the maven team are reluctant to start testing with something that is "just" feature complete. Finding and reporting this *one* issue took quite some effort, since we're usually talking about tests written for *other* purposes that break; and they break in weird places & highly unexpected manners. So realistically we're testing at the earliest level we're comfortable with (which I find is M8-ish). Less complex projects are probably a bit more risk-willing than us :) We have quite some momentum in our jdk8 testing now, and there's quite a few of us who seem intent on verifying *everything* in good time before GA. I know I'll be picking up the verification once JDK-8030781 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8030781> gets released into a nightly.
