Re: [kura-dev] Running Java 8 code in Kura

["Maiero, Matteo" <matteo.maiero@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Henryk,

Kura currently runs on Java 8 and the code was modified to be compliant with the Java 8 Compact 2 profile (I’ve pushed a commit to verify at build time the compliance [1]).

Also here we have noticed the unsupported Java 8 profile in current Equinox implementation but, for the moment, we have decided to remove the Require-Capability entry for Java 8+ bundles: we have preferred to not patch the equinox osgi implementation to not loose the Eclipse jar signature and to don’t have to maintain such implementations.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Matteo

Hi,

As far as I know Kura 1.3.0 is supposed to run Java 8 code. However when I deploy 1.8 bundles into I can see the following exception:

  Require-Capability: osgi.ee;filter:="(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=1.8))"

Maybe we should add the 1.8 profile to Equinox, as described here [1]. See "Working approach 3: Patch Equinox Patch the org.eclipse.osgi bundle to include Luna's JavaSE-1.8.profile.".

What do you think?

Cheers!
