             Summary: XSP block doesn't compile with Java 8
                 Key: COCOON-2366
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2366
             Project: Cocoon
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Blocks: XSP
    Affects Versions: 2.1.12
            Reporter: Alfred Nathaniel
             Fix For: 2.1.13


Cocoon 2.1.12 provides as option to use the JDK compiler for XSPs.  The Javac class calls internal APIs no longer available in recent Java versions.  Since Java 6 the standard API javax.tool.JavaCompiler is provided.

Source code to compile with Java 5 and Java 6 would need to do indirect class loading calls.  Better to drop Java 5 support in Cocoon and declare 1.6 to be the minimum version,
