While building one of my repositories with Shippable, I got the following error:
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR :

[INFO] BUILD FAILURESolution for travis
See Travis issue 4042. Adding the lines 10 to 13 into your .travis.yml seems to cause Travis to use a newer JDK version:
addons:
# language
language: java
# version numbers
jdk:
- oraclejdk8
# Use JDK 8u45. The above line just causes the use of a minor version of Java 8.
addons:
apt:
packages:
- oracle-java8-installerThat caused my build to run just fine in travis.
Solution for shippable
Unfortunately, I don’t know a solution for Shippable right now. However, you can view the progress in this bug report of mine.
Update
Using a custom image as described in the mentioned ticket, I got my build working. This is my shippable.yml:
# language
language: java
# version numbers
jdk:
- oraclejdk8
before_install:
- apt-get update
- apt-get install -y maven
before_script:
- if [[ $SHIPPABLE_JDK_VERSION == "oraclejdk8" ]] ; then export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle"; export PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin"; export java_path="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java"; fi
- update-alternatives --set java $java_path
- java -version
after_success:
- mvn clean cobertura:cobertura
- mvn testTL;DR
Both Travis and Shippable are able to build Java 1.8u45 code, however not out of the box.
