Alfred Nathaniel commented on COCOON-2366:
------------------------------------------
Retaining Javac, Jikes, and Pizza compilers as options is rather nostalgic.
The Eclipse JDT compiler included in the standard Cocoon distribution is quite
sufficient.
> XSP block doesn't compile with Java 8

> 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,
