Hi devs, This looks like bad news for our VFS API (our replacement and generalization of the previous zipexplorer plugin). We need to test if it still works in XWiki 8.1 (which requires java 8)… So globally we’re in a bad shape with our choice of using TrueVFS because right now there are 2 important issues: * Ability to set permissions, see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12912 * This potential java 8 issue Thanks -Vincent

Hi Zoltan,

I agree that the TrueVFS Access module needs some maintenance. Actually, I am thinking more of a rewrite because it contains some anti-patterns, is hard to digest and contains even a bug. However, this would require some serious amount of time and currently I just can’t do that. Things may change in winter, but I don’t know for sure.

Regards, Christian Schlichtherle

Hi Christian,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for sharing this project with the community as it's really powerful and useful for those who struggles with CRUD operations on archive files.

I was wondering whether you have plan to support Java 8 in TrueVFS as some issues have come up which related to the Java 8 e.g. https://java.net/jira/browse/TRUEVFS-159 <https://java.net/jira/browse/TRUEVFS-159> because the Files.walkFileTree() implementation is changed and when the code tries to get TFileSystem.FsNodeAttributes.fileKey() <http://www.atetric.com/atetric/javadoc/net.java.truevfs/truevfs-access/0.11.0/src-html/net/java/truevfs/access/TFileSystem.html#line.508> it throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

The annotation processor also warns about the Supported source version compatibility issues with 1.8.

Also noticed that it's no longer possible to register to the issue tracking system, because the sign up link in JIRA redirects here: https://java.net/people/new <https://java.net/people/new>

Thank you for your answers in advance, Zoltán
