Which Java version did you try to use it with?
java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.31-3.b13.fc21.x86_64
Did you have a look at [1]? In short: won't be, wait for f22.
Yeah, didn't see much documentation of specific issues and the tracker bug looks pretty clean as far as general engine usability goes.
Everything should be installable right now in F21 but jboss-as 7.1 doesn't work with java 1.8. We'll need to move to wildfly or backport java7 in order to make it working.
Alternatively, if it is for development purposes only, you may want to consider using JBoss EAP 6.x instead of JBoss AS 7.1.1. The root cause of the incompatibility has been fixed there (and in WildFly):
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2057
You can get JBoss EAP from here:
http://www.jboss.org/products/eap/download
Then you can unzip it to your favorite directory and use it during installation of oVirt Engine:
# engine-setup --jboss-home=/whatever/jboss-eap-6.3
It should work well with Java 8. If it doesn't work it is good to know, as we will need to fix it eventually.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ended up installing openJDK-1.7 alongside the stock 1.8 and it's working again for me.
via yum or did you just download it?
Perhaps depending on your answer, can't this fulfill the F21 support feature?
Perhaps, but Java 7 is expected to be end-of-life on April 2015, so we should plan on upgrading anyway. -- Didi
