default interface methods in JDK8 are overriden

[caarlos0]

If I use an interface like this:

public interface AWSConfig extends Config {
  @Key("aws.bucketname")
  String bucketname();

  default Region region() {
    return Region.getRegion( Regions.fromName( regionName() ) );
  }
}

The region method is overridden by Owner, and always return null.

Thanks.

I'm going to address this and do a maintenance release asap.

nice, thanks!

Did some research on how to call default methods, without compromising backward (jdk < 1.8) compatibility: http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/java-8-default-interface-methods-and-jdk-dynamic-proxies/

committed on master branch a new module called owner-java8. To compile it, you need JDK 8. To use it, you need to declare a maven dependency to it:

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.aeonbits.owner</groupId>
            <artifactId>owner-java8</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.6-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
</dependencies>

owner-java8 has a transitive dependency to the artifact owner, so you don't need to specify both in your maven dependencies.

I'll release this asap. For now you can find the implementation on master branch. See Building from sources if you want to test this before the official release.

NICE!

Please let us know when the new version is maven central!

Cheers!

glorious!

I need to write some documentation on this, then I'll release a new minor release on maven central repo.

Sorry for the long delay, owner-1.0.6 is available with this fix/enhancement on maven central repository.
