Adds support for Java 8 - to allow use the latest features of the language with Struts actions.
Usage
You must define it as a dependency in pom.xml and exclude the old version of ASM used with xwork-core, see a code snippet below:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.struts.xwork</groupId>
<artifactId>xwork-core</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>asm</groupId>
<artifactId>asm</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>asm</groupId>
<artifactId>asm-commons</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
If you don't use Maven to manage the dependencies, please be sure to replace asm.jar and asm-commons.jar with appropriated ASM 5 versions.
