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). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
