Lukasz Lenart commented on WW-4402: ----------------------------------- I think it's two stop patch - first it must be applied to struts-annotations - then the second patch must be applied to Struts core > JDK 8: build fails due to missing apt tool > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: WW-4402 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4402 > Project: Struts 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Build Management > Affects Versions: 2.3.16.3 > Environment: JDK 8 > Reporter: Rene Gielen > Labels: jdk8 > Fix For: 2.5 > > Attachments: WW-4402-struts-core.diff, WW-4402.diff > > > The generation of Struts Taglib TLD files relies on annotation processing > with the apt tool, wrapped by maven-apt-plugin. > In JDK 7 apt has been > [deprecated|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/apt/GettingStarted.html] > in favor of [JSR 269|https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=269]. In JDK 8 apt > tool has been [removed completely|http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/117]. > In effect, Struts core and all tag library projects relying on the > struts-annotation helper library won't build any longer under JDK 8. A major > effort is needed to introduce a compatible replacement. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
