[FLINK-5067] Make Flink compile with 1.8 Java compiler - New type inference rules changed which overloaded methods are picked. - Renamed java.version property in maven to java.minor.version. This is due to the fact that overriding java.version is used by some third-party classes and they expect the version to be fully qualified. - Introduced Java 8 build for Travis CI You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/melentye/flink FLINK-5067-make-flink-compile-with-java8-compiler Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2804.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #2804 ---- commit f07215eed4269826e57136fa30560a34b8409d34 Author: Andrey Melentyev <andrey.melent...@klarna.com> Date: 2016-11-13T16:42:17Z [FLINK-5067] Java 8 build fixes - New type inference rules changed which overloaded methods are picked. - Renamed java.version property in maven to java.minor.version.
