[dacapobench-researchers] Compatibility with OpenJDK 8.x ?

[Valerio S. <val...@gm...>]

Hello,
when executing some of the DaCapo tests with OpenJDK 8.x there are missing
classes and other failures, only available in the Oracle JDK.
My java version:

openjdk version "1.8.0_131"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-8u131-b11-2ubuntu1.16.04.3-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

Example of problem with the 'batik' tests:

java -jar dacapo-9.12-bach.jar batik
===== DaCapo 9.12 batik starting =====

A different error is with the 'eclipse' test:

$java -jar dacapo-9.12-bach.jar eclipse --ignore-validation
...

       .. 1,957 references for method 'equals' in workspace

===== DaCapo 9.12 eclipse FAILED =====

Suggestions on how to fix those ?

Thanks,
