[Building Sakai] Mneme + 2.9.x + Java 7

[Earle Nietzel]

If the build is failing in those tools the first thing would to be to
figure out where the build fails i.e. when running tests, or actually
doing a compile.

I am going to guess its failing in a test since 9 times out of 10
thats probably where the problem will be.

In JUnit your tests are not guaranteed to run in the order they appear
in your TestCase, but prior to Java 7 this tended to be the norm and
so people have come to rely on it. But in Java 7 this not the case so
make sure that each test is self contained, i.e. a test depending on a
previous test that inserted some stuff in a database is not good
practice and these are the kinds of tests that will break in Java 7.
In the end "Each test should be independent".

If its a compile issue it will usually be an issue with another
library i.e. xalan, xerces. Since newer versions of these libraries
are packaged with the JDK. This happened to be an issue in rwiki and
you can see the fix here
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-22210

If that doesn't help your going to have post the specifics!
