Rick Curtis commented on OPENJPA-2514: -------------------------------------- > Did you try java 8 feature in entities (stream + lambda)? I haven't tried yet... it's been on my todo list, just have got to it. I have my fingers crossed that it'll just work. > ASM dependency revisited > ------------------------ > > Key: OPENJPA-2514 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2514 > Project: OpenJPA > Issue Type: Bug > Components: kernel > Affects Versions: 2.2.2, 2.3.0, 2.4.0 > Reporter: Rick Curtis > Assignee: Rick Curtis > > OPENJPA-2171 introduced a dependency on xbean-asm-4 and with this JIRA I'd > like to revisit that issue. > On the mailing list the TomEE folks have pointed that they need a java 6 > release with xbean asm5(in support of runtime java8) and Kevin has even > reverted a number of changes to trunk to rollback some of the java7(compile) > support changes. I put together a patch that is similar to Romain's patch > from OPENJPA-2171 that will selectively load whichever ASM library is > available for a given environment. The attached patch will also upgrade the > packaged asm dependency in openjpa-all to xbean-asm-5, but that could be > changed depending on the environment. > While I understand, and appreciate the need to insulate OpenJPA from > ASM(breaking) changes, I don't like the fact that to use OpenJPA a user is > also required to use a special version of ASM. There are scenarios where a > user might already have their own 'blessed' version of ASM in use, and they > don't want to have yet another copy. Allowing for selecting loading of a > given ASM library should be able to satisfy both use cases. > If this seems like a reasonable way forward, I could commit this change to > trunk and 2.3.x. This would mean that the TomEE folks could cut another > release from the 2.3.x branch, rather than creating yet another branch for > limited benefit. > Thoughts, comments? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
