Run JBoss 7.1 on Java 8

[roar109]

We want to move forward with Java 8, so I download AS  7.1 and 7.0 but it get stuck when is starting up.

I see this issue but is for EAP and is solved for wildfly 8 version.

I use JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final and Jboss 7.1.0.Final both get stuck.

Wildfly 8 Final and EAP 6.2 run without problems.

I use windows 32 bit version.

Java 1.8.0_05.

Standalone get stuck, domain startup works.

In the gettings started guide said:

Java SE 6 or later (we recommend that you use the latest update available)

Java SE 7 can be used with JBoss AS 7

So, is not compatible with java 8 or have some issues with this config?

If you want to jump to Java 8 you should jump to WildFly too... or if you are not intimidated by a label and still want to use Java EE 6, I recommend to go with JBoss EAP 6.3.0 Alpha which is basically JBoss AS 7.4 and should be compatible with Java 8.

Also note that with Java 8, there is no PermGen anymore so you need to remove MaxPermSize form startup configuration.

Noting wrong if you keep it, it just warns about not being used anymore.

To add to what Jorge said, why do you want AS7 when WildFly 8 has been released? WildFly is just a rename of the same community project.

Sorry for the wrong problem description, we already have JBoss 7/Java 7 on some applications and we are considering moving to Java 8,,

If the official release for java 8 is WildFly, I'll will take a look and do some tests with our apps
