Verified ICEfaces EE-3.3.0.GA_P04 Build #2 ant build ('clean.build.projects') and bundle creation ('bundle') with the following java versions:

java version "1.8.0_66"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.66-b18, mixed mode)

java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

re 49049 and 45269 for ee3.
IPCK-438 will contain similar fixes for ee4 and will resolve this for ee4 and open source builds.

.for ee3:- rev 49049 and 45269. PLease test ee bundle creation with java 1.8 as well as java 1.6 or 1.7. (the builds should check and the javadoc will be run with correct parameters without adding any command line parameters)

This is a direct result of removing commons-collections from the lib/compat folder (ICE_10843). Once it is re-instated, the build occurs fine. Interestingly enough, with JDK 1.6, this error does not occur, but with JDK 1.8 it does. ALthough the SortableDataModel in comps-ee library imports
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanToPropertyValueTransformer
review of this class
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-beanutils/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/BeanToPropertyValueTransformer.html
shows it implements
implements org.apache.commons.collections.Transformer
Due to security reasons, will only ensure that the interface now becomes part of the ee-comps library, rather than re-stating the jar.

I also will commit changes to the builds which will automatically detect the java version and then will use the correct javadoc command based upon the java version detected. The -source property in the ant javadoc command is not respected (as it is in the javac command).

no command-line will further be required for javadoc once this commit is made.

The icefaces core bundle ant build now completes successfully using JDK 1.8 with the "ant -DwithDoclint=false" specified. However, the icefaces-ee composite components bundle build is failing with the following compilation error (jdk 1.8 specific):

    [javac] /Users/Ken/Code/svn/icefaces-ee3-trunk/icefaces-ee/bundle/ICEfaces-EE-3.3.0.GA_P04-SNAPSHOT-bin/ee-comps/ee-composite/src/com/icesoft/faces/facelets/component/table/autosort/SortableDataModel.java:83: error: cannot access Transformer
    [javac]                     Object prop1 = transformer.transform(o1);
    [javac]                                               ^
    [javac]   class file for org.apache.commons.collections.Transformer not found

Added optional system property for use with ant command line to disable the javadoc doclint when wanting to compile with JDK 1.8. Not required otherwise.
