Infinispan quickstarts clustered-cache is broken

[shauna]

Not sure if what is at infinispan/infinispan-quickstart · GitHub is actually the latest as I have tried building the clustered-cache example and get the following -

[sappleto@localhost clustered-cache]$ mvn clean compile dependency:copy-dependencies -DstripVersion

I have created [ISPN-4269] Infinispan quickstarts clustered-cache does not compile - JBoss Issue Tracker for this.

.Java 8 is required as that introduces the sort method on an ArrayList. ( http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html#sort-java.util.Comparator- )

Installing Java 8 and ensuring that is available resolves this.

Thanks for reporting this Shaun. I've replaced the call to List.sort() with Collections.sort() and now the quickstart works on Java 7 as well.
