Hello James,

we have to fix this for the upcoming release.
Would you mind to open a jira issue?

We also have to make sure that it doesn't happen again.
I suggest as long as we are on 1.7 we should have a job
on our build server which additionally builds and tests with 1.8.

Thanks,
Jörn

All,

I just wanted to let everyone know, the OpenNLP project is not compatible with the new Java 1.8.

I get two (2) issues:

1)    Fails test:

   Failed tests:
testPerceptronOnPrepAttachDataWithStepSizeDecrease(opennlp.tools
   .ml.perceptron.PerceptronPrepAttachTest):
   expected:<0.7756870512503095> but was:
   <0.7766773953948998>

2)    Java document generation fails miserably.

   [ERROR] *    <li>.bin --> the file is binary
   [ERROR] ^
   [ERROR]

The second for javadoc errors are probably due to more stringent checking in javadoc. The first... is a bit disconcerting and troubling. I'm going to check into this; because this error shouldn't be happening.

Just letting everyone know before we get too many complaints.
