The more I work with
JWSC, the more issues I seem to find. This new one is related to
JavaCompiler and has the same smell as the other
JWSC problem I've found. I've not had time to investigate this one in detail, but did find a workaround still.
The problem seemed to be that when I started to
package my apps with javapackager I switched to Java 8 as my default JDK. Since I was on vacation at that time, I had no need to build any work projects and this issue went unnoticed for a week or so. When I got back to work and tried to build our code, it failed, with the error below...
At first I thought that the issue was with some of my code and build system changes of the service I was working on, however the same issue came up for every service I tried to build, so I decided it couldn't be a code issue and must be an environment problem.
I was on the right track. Checking the Java version showed me this...
So I switched back to JDK 7, tried to build our services and it all worked again.
Not exactly sure why JWSC is failing like this, I'd like to get back to this issue later when I have time, but it is not a priority now.
