<p>Hi,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Just to clarify really quick:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you're ArchivesSpace is at v1.1.0 and is running ,this does not affect you.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Most people are still running Java 7, which is the recommended version of java for ArchivesSpace.
<br>

<p>best,chris. <br>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As some have found out, there is an issue with v1.1.0 running on java 8 which is causing ASpace to not launch.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The problem is that the jasper reports module require a library that compiles the Jasper jrxml files, which is does with a library called jdt-compiler-3.1.1.jar, which does not run on Java 8.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So, you'll know you have a problem right off the bat, as the application will not launch. This does not affect users running earlier versions of java.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you want to run Java 8, you must remove this jdt-compiler-3.1.1.jar file from you lib directory AND you much be using the Java 8 JDK ( not simply the JRE), since this includes some libraries Jasper falls back on to compile reports.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm looking into adding a version of the jdt-compiler that is Java 8 friendly. I'm also adding more test to our Jenkins CI test server to test different java versions to ensure we don't run into this again.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sorry about any inconvenience. Let me know if you have any questions...<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best, Chris. <br>
</p>
