[sakai-core-team] Fwd: [Building Sakai] Java 8

[Kirschner, Beth]

I believe I have Sakai building & running with Java 8 -- the only outstanding issue is reflectutils. I've attached a patch to Aaron's google svn repo, and also sent him an email to his gmail address, but haven't heard anything back. I wonder if we should move this dependency into github? 

Thoughts?
