After update to Java8, getting error during JiBX bind - [bind] java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error loading class java.lang.CharSequence

Question

On my machine, I updated from Java 1.6 to Java 1.8. Now, while doing build getting below JiBXException in JiBX binding compilation.

bind:
 [echo] Running JiBX binding compiler
 [bind] Error running binding compiler
 [bind] java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error loading class java.lang.CharSequence: Error reading path java/lang/CharSequence.class for class java.lang.CharSequence
BUILD FAILED
/build/build.xml:218: JiBXException in JiBX binding compilation

I'm using these JiBX JAR versions - 'jibx-bind-1.2.2' , 'jibx-run-1.2.2'.

As a workaround - I tried to upgrade JiBX version to 1.3.1 and also upgraded to bcel-6.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

But still facing same error. :(

Due to old Jars compatibility issue with Java 8, need to upgrade JiBX to 1.3.1 which is compatible with java 8. Following jars need to be upgraded.

•jibx-bind-1.3.1.jar

•jibx-run-1.3.1.jar

•jibx-tools-1.3.1.jar

•joda-time-2.9.5.jar

•jibx-extras-1.3.1.jar

•bcel-6.1.jar

•xpp3-1.1.6.jar
