Changing issue type to Story, as there is no concrete fix at all in this ticket, then closing accordingly.

Hi,

according to issue description, it seems the world would also be ready to welcome a green checkmark for the combination of Magnolia 4.5.25+ and Java 8 in https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Certified+stack

Comment by Federico Grilli [ 22/May/15 ]

Hi Joerg, yes but I guess we first need to release 4.5.25 before making it official However there's still an open and controversial issue in 4.5.25 changelog preventing us from releasing it. Hope we will sort that out soon.

oddly enough compilation issues related to java 8 (test failures, compilation errors) have started showing up only after last commit https://git.magnolia-cms.com/gitweb/?p=magnolia_main.git;a=commit;h=63faeddd30b5c5cda62972f3054becaa1004f96e which apparently is unrelated. Also, even more strangely, compilation errors related to sun proprietary classes show up even when java6 is used to build the project https://jenkins.magnolia-cms.com/job/magnolia_main-4.5-branch/711/info.magnolia$magnolia-module-admininterface/console
