Java8 not working with Scalate?

[Nils Kilden-Pedersen]

Tried switching and got this:

9700 [qtp433874882-34] ERROR org.fusesource.scalate.TemplateEngine  - Compilation failed:

error: error while loading CharSequence, class file 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\jre\lib\rt.jar(java/lang/CharSequence.class)' is broken

I think Scalate needs to be compiled against 2.10.3 which includes support for the JDK8 class format

Scala 2.11 is imminent.  What do people think about a release with crossbuilds against 2.10.3 and 2.11.0?  We could get a snapshot going now, and see if that fixes the JDK8 issue.

In my opinion that's the way to go. I cannot find a definitive roadmap on Scala 2.11 but I'd say we could get a 2.10.3 + 2.11.0-RC2 (is it the current one) going.

This would allow for better testing and we could get ahold of the problems first so that we can get scalate on 2.11 faster than we were able to in 2.10.x.

Best regards,

I pushed a build against Scala 2.10.4-RC3.  

Scala 2.10.3 had a problem with axis, which appears to be addressed in https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-7439.

I don't have rights to publish a snapshot myself.  CI should publish it as 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT.

I'm out of time for today, but will work on a 2.11 branch next if nobody beats me to it.
