---------------------------------------

hi,
used:
OpenJDK version "1.8.0_11"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_11-b12)
OpenJDK Zero VM (build 25.11-b02, interpreted mode)

applied the patch for java 8 problems (OPENJPA-2441), but now i have still this 
problem:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal 
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on 
project openjpa-persistence: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

> Support for JAVA 8
> ------------------
>
>                 Key: OPENJPA-2386
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2386
>             Project: OpenJPA
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: build / infrastructure, Enhance, jpa
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
>            Reporter: Kevin Sutter
>            Assignee: Rick Curtis
>
> A few different aspects exist for the support of Java 8.  The first being 
> tolerance of the Java 8 runtime.  If OpenJPA and the application are built 
> and enhanced with Java 7 (or Java 6), then will these class files execute in 
> a Java 8 environment?  My assumption is "yes" since this would be consistent 
> with our initial experiences with Java 7.  But, some testing will be required 
> to verify this.
> The next aspect is the building of the application Entities with Java 8.  
> Building and enhancing Java Entity class files with Java 8 looks to be 
> hazardous...  The first indication is that ASM doesn't seem to handle the 
> Java 8 class file format.  And, if ASM doesn't handle it, then I'm sure that 
> Serp doesn't handle it either.  Now, whether our use of ASM as a 
> post-processor for Serp will suffice this time around, I have no idea.  
> This brings back the question of dropping Serp support altogether and going 
> the ASM route 
> (http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/DISCUSS-Java7-and-Serp-td6951682.html).  
> I know there's been some interest in this in the past.
> A longer-term aspect is when do we actually build OpenJPA with Java 8 and 
> take advantage (exploit) of the new features.  I think we have a long ways 
> before we have to cross that hurdle.  When we start developing JPA 2.1, we'll 
> probably have to upgrade our build process to use Java 7.  So, we're probably 
> on the same type of cycle for Java 8 for building OpenJPA (when it's required 
> by Java EE 8).
