can not build 3.2.x [SPR-12046]

Jason Tsai opened SPR-12046 and commented

Hey there, it's my first time try to build SpringFrameWork source code from Github and it's a little hard for me.
When I use 'gradlew build', the problems come out.
The first problem is :
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':spring-aspects:compileJava'.
[error] The type java.lang.CharSequence cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
[error] The import java.util.Arrays cannot be resolved
BTW, I use JDK8 and WIN7 64bit.
I have found a solution here about this problem. Just use 'gradlew check -x :spring-aspects:check'. But I really like to know what's wrong.
After this one, it failed at oxm test.Here is the report:
1)JibxMarshallerTests
org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException: Unable to access binding 'binding'
Make sure classes generated by the binding compiler are available at runtime
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.oxm.jibx.JiBX_bindingFactory
2)JibxUnmarshallerTests
org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException: Unable to access binding information for class org.springframework.oxm.jibx.Flights
Make sure the binding has been compiled
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: JiBX_bindingList
I've searched the jira and found this #59
But it didn't work.
Can anyone give a hand?

Affects: 3.2.10

The 3.2.x branch needs to be built with JDK 7. We're only building with JDK 8 as of Spring Framework 4.0.

What you're seeing are expected effects of trying to use AspectJ 1.7 and JiBX compilation on JDK 8...

Oops, thank you for your advises, I will change JDK8 to JDK7.
And where should I put the jars of AspectJ 1.7 and JiBX.

Jason Tsai commented

I've checked the build.gradle file. Version of AspectJ is 1.7.4. Is this OK?
What should I do with JiBX?

What's the error exactly? Building on Java7 wit the 3.2.x branch should work just fine

Finally, I built 3.2.x successfully! I use 'gradlew build -x referencePdf' since SourceForge is cut down in China. I found there are 2 little problems.
1)org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReaderTests.testWithWildcardImport()
2)org.springframework.instrument.classloading.ResourceOverridingShadowingClassLoaderTests.testFindsExistingResourceWithGetResourcesAndNoOverrides()
The 2 methods are both OK when I tested them independently in IDEA but went wrong when use 'gradlew' in commad line.
I don't know why but they are not block any more. Anyway, I'll appreciate it if anyone would share something.

I am afraid I can't reproduce. I did a fresh checkout of 3.2 and ./gradlew build worked for me.
