: Something is not making sense here. As mentioned earlier I used Apple extension FileManager methods with my trz package below. That was specifically written against nio.2, which means it requires java 7 to compile and run. It does both - unless this compile breaking thing is more recent than when I did the FileManager using parts?

I just checked into it and NONCOREPKGS.gmk has these listed so it shouldn't be an issue with builds of jdk7u (sorry about that, I shouldn't have trusted the bug that you sent a link to). However they are not in the symbol file generated in the jdk8 build - that is due to a small bug in the make file that seems to have come in when moving to the new build in 8.

Sorry about the confusion on the bug, I know I didn't understand it. Glad to hear that the extensions should compile and I hope they continue to do so.
