Widget Framework 3 and Content Resources

If you have publications based on version 3 of the Widget Framework that import content from content resources using the Widget Framework build tools, then you will need to continue using Java 7 when running Maven to build the publications. This is due to a change in behavior between Java 7 and Java 8 that causes content to be imported from the content resource in the wrong order.

If you use Java 8 to build a publication that makes use of a content resource, the resulting publication may contain empty Widget Framework templates and other errors.

Th Widget Framework build tools will be updated to solve this issue in a future release.
