Ken Fyten added a comment - 03/Jul/18 5:30 PM Okay all our builds now specify source and target class version compatibility with JDK 1.8. We have the following warnings that we should correct related to using jdk 1.8: [javac] Compiling 63 source files to /Users/Ken/Code/svn/icefaces4-trunk/icefaces/ace/generator/build [javac] /Users/Ken/Code/svn/icefaces4-trunk/icefaces/ace/generator/src/org/icefaces/ace/generator/merge/FacesConfigMerge.java:19: warning: OutputFormat is internal proprietary API and may be removed in a future release [javac] import com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serialize.OutputFormat; [javac] ^ [javac] /Users/Ken/Code/svn/icefaces4-trunk/icefaces/ace/generator/src/org/icefaces/ace/generator/merge/FacesConfigMerge.java:20: warning: XMLSerializer is internal proprietary API and may be removed in a future release [javac] import com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serialize.XMLSerializer; ...

Arturo Zambrano added a comment - 04/Jul/18 12:28 PM r52505: fixes to correct varargs method invocation warnings and API warnings, for which the Xerces 2.12.0 library had to be added The showcase is now working correctly as well.

Ken Fyten added a comment - 05/Jul/18 3:36 PM Please verify that the xerces 2.12.0 lib is only required while building ICEfaces itself, and not for runtime deployments.

Arturo Zambrano added a comment - 05/Jul/18 5:09 PM Yes, Xerces is only used for compiling and not at runtime. We only use it to merge our custom faces-config.xml with the generated faces-config.xml, and we include the merged faces-config.xml in the ace jar
