Maven enunciate plugin on Java 1.8 is now removed from the latest JDK (i.e. Java annotation processing tool)

The question is how can Java 1.8 work with Maven enunciate plugin?

Use the Maven plug-in org codehaus. Enunciate version 1.29 and OSX JDK 1.7 0_ All very good Enunciate depends on apt, I'm in 1.7 0_ See this runtime warning in 25

When changed to 1.8 0_ 05 when build fails

Apt did disappear, so we couldn't find about com sun. mirror. Runtime error for apt.annotationprocessorfactory

Solution

July 2015 editor:

As @ bmargulies recommended, I checked the JIRA page (I think I should finish it the first time!) Interpretation JIRA eniciate-701

"There is no timetable for enunciate / jdk8 compatibility."

Enunciate has been transferred to GitHub; The problem there is #68
