Hi all, a small update:
using OpenJDK and limit builds to ubuntu server (for Jenkins) all
works :-) ... but with JDK 8 now we get this compile error:
[javac]
<https://builds.apache.org/job/Pivot-trunk%20on%20Java%208/ws/pivot_trunk/wtk/src/org/apache/pivot/wtk/BrowserApplicationContext.java
>:395: error: cannot find symbol
[javac] JSObject window =
JSObject.getWindow(applicationHostApplet);
[javac] ^
[javac] symbol: method getWindow(HostApplet)
[javac] location: class JSObject
could be due to some (new) restriction on JSObject classes ... we have
to make some check.
Let's update.
Bye,
Sandro
