[Hein van der Kallen]

Upgraded opencms 7.5.4. + mysql  + tomcat 5.0  running on a recent JAVA_HOME. 
to opencms 8.0.4 using the opencms upgrade. 

Got error directly after the database update: ( browser in ...update/step_0_dbsettings.jsp)
In logging:
   compilerTargetVM=1.3

   compilerSourceVM=1.3

    include=org/apache/jsp/update/step_005f0_005fdbsettings_jsp.java

... org/apache/jsp/update/step_005f0_005fdbsettings_jsp.java:154: generics are not supported in -source 1.3

(use -source 5 or higher to enable generics)



Solved it using http://firstclassthoughts.co.uk/java/tomcat_5_eclipse_source_1.5.html



which suggests to insert 

    <init-param>

            <param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name>

            <param-value>1.5</param-value>

        </init-param>

        <init-param>

            <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name>

            <param-value>1.5</param-value>

        </init-param>





I inserted it in the jasper part of web.xml of opencms, cleared jsp-cache and 

restarted upgrade. Solved.



I regret that older documentation like in /alkacon-documentation/ was not updated. 

And I spent a lot of extra time getting the new opencms 8 demo's loaded from the full version.

But succeeded.
