Description Marc-André Laperle CLA 2016-04-21 15:55:52 EDT 
Using master as of today for the hudson.core repo.

Using Java 8 to build Hudson with maven results in an error:

$ mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T11:41:47-05:00)
Maven home: ******
Java version: 1.8.0_66-internal, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre
Default locale: en_CA, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "4.2.0-35-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

$ mvn clean install

Results :

Tests in error: 
  hudson.model.PasswordParameterDefinitionEqualsHashCodeTest: Failed to transform class with name hudson.model.Hudson. Reason: java.io.IOException: invalid constant type: 18

Tests run: 356, Failures: 0, Errors: 10, Skipped: 0

However, if I run the build using Java 7, then it works. For example
$ JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/ mvn clean install

Comment 1 Bob Foster CLA 2016-04-25 12:46:12 EDT 
Changed to enhancement request, as we don't build Hudson with Java 8 and there are known problems.
Comment 2 Marc-André Laperle CLA 2016-04-25 13:26:42 EDT 
Perhaps you want to use Maven Enforcer to fail quickly if not running tests with Java 7?

Comment 3 Bob Foster CLA 2016-04-25 15:57:10 EDT 
Probably should have done. Next release will probably be a bug fix release, so not appropriate to step the JDK, but we should ensure the build fails fast.
