Christoph Nenning commented on WW-4402: --------------------------------------- bq. FAILURE: Integrated in Struts-JDK7-pull-request #37 That jenkins/hudson fails seems like a configuration issue as the main part of this patch must be applied to struts-annotation instead of struts itself. When I try to build struts-core locally with this patch applied to struts-annotation I get the following error with both jdk7 and jdk8. I must admit that I have no idea what this whole apt stuff is about so I'm not able to provide more help. {quote} [ERROR] An annotation processor threw an uncaught exception. [ERROR] Consult the following stack trace for details.
