Payara: Fail-Fast when attempting to build on JDK 8

Created on 25 Aug 2016 · 6Comments · Source: payara/Payara

I'm on https://github.com/payara/Payara/commit/4660a87c296768a77b9f562f3ad3fa08a750adc4 and when I tried to build Payara by invoking the gfbuild.sh script I've got this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.4:compile (default-compile) on project rest-service: Compilation failure
[ERROR] error: Bad service configuration file, or exception thrown while constructing Processor object: javax.annotation.processing.Processor: Provider org.glassfish.admin.rest.annotation.processor.RestModelExtensionProcessor not found
[ERROR] -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]

This is with Oracle JDK 8u101

When I set my JAVA_HOME to Oracle JDK 7u80 then the build script finishes just fine.

The build script should check the current Java version and fail-fast - with a descriptive error message - when an unsupported Java version is found. The current error is rather cryptic and does not give away what's wrong.

actually the build script needs deleting as you should just be able to build Payara using

mvn install from the root.

We've got issue #338 to purge those old bits and pieces.

Is Payara buildable on JDK 8? was the issue I observed caused just by the (now removed) scripts?

yes it's buildable on JDK8 with maven

Also, if you run mvn clean install -PQuickBuild -DskipTests you'll build almost everything you need very quickly. It's really handy for initial builds.
