Keith,



Has development on BrailleBlaster stopped? I haven't seen anything from the
list for a long time.





Best regards from Ohio,



Vic

Keith,



FYI: I went back to Java 7u75 and everything is fine again.

Hmmm, I'm using java 7 and the server build is using java6. I wish we could
replicate this.

Keith,



The build.txt file in the BrailleBlaster repository says:



BrailleBlaster was written using Java 6, because that was what was

available. The Ant build.xml file enables compilation on Java 5, 6 and

7. The jar files produced should run on any of these versions. The

developers may move to Java 7 if it contains new usable features.



Are you sure someone didn't modify the Ant build script to get it to work
with Java 8? No matter what I do, it won't work here.





Best regards from Ohio,



Vic
