I'm confused. Why did the first build succeed and the subsequent ones fail?

[ascandroli]

I also thought it was weird that it started to fail with this upgrade, so I went to take a look.
It's complaining about "java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: javax/ws/rs/core/Application : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0"

javax/ws/rs/core/Application is provided by jboss-jaxrs-api_2.0_spec-1.0.1.Beta1
I've checked that both master and the patch-1 (pullrequest) are using the same version of the dependency.
I've checked that we have been always running java 1.7 on Travis and that that hasn't changed.

Since I ran out of ideas, I re-ran the last successful build and it also failed with the same error message:
https://travis-ci.org/tynamo/tapestry-resteasy/jobs/216501407

I'm still trying to understand what's going on.

My guess is that there has been an issue with the repos, Travis have been using a version of jboss-jaxrs-api_2.0_spec-1.0.1.Beta1 that didn't require java 1.8, probably from a different mirror?

But https://travis-ci.org/tynamo/tapestry-resteasy/builds/211270937 (which ran for #9 and which used the artifact from the same location) succeeded.
I wonder if a rebuild of https://travis-ci.org/tynamo/tapestry-resteasy/builds/216491548 would fail too. If it does, then the issue must be with Travis or Maven Central.

[jochenberger]

Wait... have a look at https://travis-ci.org/tynamo/tapestry-resteasy/builds/211270937#L167: It actually used Java 8 for the build. https://travis-ci.org/tynamo/tapestry-resteasy/jobs/216501407#L153 used Java 7.

[jochenberger]

You should probably specify the Java version in your .travis.yml. ;-)

[jochenberger]

ca9449f is the first build that fails with Java 7.

[jochenberger]

Yes, apparently 3.1.x requires Java 8, and even recent 3.0.x versions (>= 3.0.20) do. They changed that in a patch level release!?

[jochenberger]

A decision needs to be made here. Do you want to support Java 7 (and ship an old RESTEasy version) or do you want to require Java 8?

[kaosko]

The only way is forward. Given that Java 9 is just around the corner, I think we can move onto Java 8 for newer versions of this library. People who can't move can just stay with one of the older releases. However, there are no crucial features in newer resteasy AFAIK, so we can wait for some time to hopefully get a resolution for #8 (and its underlying https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2576).

Hi there, is there any chance on merging this branch so we can get the latest version of resteasy?

[ascandroli]

done @malmyros !

Thank you very much I appreciate it!
