Hi Rory,
it is installed now. I kept javadocs disabled for java 8. If we find any new issue, we of course keep you informed asap. We committed yesterday a new module in our trunk branch, which uses mapreduce with Apache Hadoop to index documents. We already found some incompatibility of a dependency that is required to run this module. On Java 8, the Saxon XPath implementation does not work correctly, it complains about an incorrect formatted SPI file in META-INF. This is more or less the fault of Saxon (as Workaround for a bug in Sun JDK 5), but as Saxon now requires minimum Java 6, there is no need to keep this “hack” in the META-INF/services directory of the JAR. See https://saxonica.plan.io/issues/1944 for more details. Maybe Oracle could make the SPI parser again more lenient for invalid formatted entries (as far as I see, the newlines are wrong). I will commit an exclusion of this recently committed Lucene/Solr module if run with Java 8 for now, until Saxon has fixed this problem.
