[jbossts-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBTM-1082) Emma not working on JDK7

[Jonathan Halliday (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-1082?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12745415#comment-12745415 ] 

Jonathan Halliday commented on JBTM-1082:
-----------------------------------------

Come off it, the emma jdk6 binaries are fine. java goes to great lengths to ensure that binaries built with older jdks still run on newer ones.  The error trace is not from emma code. It's from code that emma has instrumented. The changes emma is making to the arjuna code don't pass the newer verifier.

It's not worth patching emma, which is largely defunct, to emit the more recent bytecode. Move to jacoco instead.
