Hi Kristian,
Thank you for your comments.

We found the issue already, thanks for the bump in priority !
no problem.
The jdk issue tracker does not allow us much in the way of features
(like issue watching !)
Yes, there is room for improvement there. In the mean time Dalibor wrote
in his blog about tracking your issues
In The JDK Bug System: http://robilad.livejournal.com/139637.html
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.
I think Alan's comment was more wishful thinking, finding bugs early is
in everyone's interest.
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 :)
I would love to discuss your testing with you in detail?
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.
Delighted to hear that!
Obviously, the later bugs are found the more likely they will get fixed
in an update release.
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.
Thanks, Rory

We have some fairly extensive tests and integration tests that
would, to a large extent, also function as a verification of jdk8
compatibility. Unfortunately most of them get stuck at sun bug
9009028, which I filed about a week ago. So while this bug is
open, it may hide other problems. So with my "tester" hat on; we
have one known bug that potentially hides interesting stuff.

Hi,
I am from the OpenJDK QA group at Oracle, and I'm trying to
get an idea about how much community
testing is happening on JDK 8 EA builds (either those
published by Oracle, or your own) and to encourage
more of it to happen see:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/quality-discuss/2013-November/000152.html
I'm curious if you have begun testing against JDK 8 or JDK
7u60 EA builds, if you've run into showstopper
issues, and if you'd like to continue to discuss the subject
on the quality-discuss mailing list in OpenJDK,
of course.
I am aware of
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8030781 , if there
are any other issues please let
me know.
JDK 8 Build b121 Early Access Build is now available for
download <http://jdk8.java.net/download.html> & test.
JDK 7u60 b02 Early Access Build is also available for
download <https://jdk7.java.net/download.html>& test.
