Description

When i tried to build d1_common_java (from the svn trunk) in java 1.8 (oracle) by the command "mvn install", it failed:

#2 Updated by Rob Nahf over 9 years ago

This is widely reported and from the JibX github pages:

https://github.com/jibx/jibx/issues/3

with a particularly salient line from a commenter made mid June, 2105

"I contacted Dennis Sosnosky, the original developer of JiBX and he confirmed that he has no plans of upgrading to Java 8 because his estimate was 8-12 weeks and he could not afford to invest that much effort outside of his regular work hours. Dennis also mentioned that he had made a proposal on the JiBX users list to sponsor a project for him to port over to ASM but no one showed interest."

Momentum for a release 6.0 of apache BCEL - the apparent culprit - seems to be building, with a flurry of recent commit activity. JibX has been waiting on a BCEL fix for a while now (over at last 8 months).

#3 Updated by Rob Nahf about 9 years ago

The big difference between JibX and JAXB for marshalling and unmarshalling is JAXB uses reflection. We should probably test JAXB performance before committing to it. http://www.quora.com/What-if-any-are-the-advantages-of-JiBX-over-JAXB.

For tips on creating a good JAXB implementation see all of the answers on this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2479886/java-marshaller-performance
The answers here indicate that reflection is only used to create a context (so only do it once!) - but that can very very slow.

#4 Updated by Rob Nahf over 8 years ago

File pom.xml added

the JIBX dependency on BCEL getting an update out seems to be less intractable than ten months ago. The BCEL 6.0-SNAPSHOT is more readily available - the apache snapshots repository is no longer necessary to include in the pom.

So, by specifying BCEL v6.0-SNAPSHOT in the d1_common_java jar (just the in the jibx plugins), I was able to get d1_common_java to compile under java 1.8. details below:

EPSCoR-MBP-7BAC:d1_common_java rnahf$ mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.2.3 (33f8c3e1027c3ddde99d3cdebad2656a31e8fdf4; 2014-08-11T13:58:10-07:00)
Maven home: /opt/local/share/java/maven3
Java version: 1.8.0_25, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.11.5", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
EPSCoR-MBP-7BAC:d1_common_java rnahf$

I didn't need to add the SNAPSHOTS repository to the pom file, so perhaps BCEL 6.0-SNAPSHOT is more mainstream than it was 10 months ago. Attaching the modified pom file, but I'm holding off on committing for now.
