Thanks to Bruno P. Kinoshita, Henri Yandell. o LANG-938: Build fails with test failures when building with JDK 8 Release Notes for version 3.2 COMPATIBILITY WITH 3.1 ======================== This release introduces backwards incompatible changes in org.apache.commons.lang3.time.FastDateFormat: o Method 'protected java.util.List parsePattern()' has been removed o Method 'protected java.lang.String parseToken(java.lang.String, int[])' has been removed o Method 'protected org.apache.commons.lang3.time.FastDateFormat$NumberRule selectNumberRule(int, int)' has been removed These changes were the result of [LANG-462]. It is assumed that this change will not break clients as Charles Honton pointed out on 25/Jan/12: " 1. Methods "FastDateFormat$NumberRule selectNumberRule(int, int)" and "List parsePattern()" couldn't have been overridden because NumberRule and Rule were private to FastDateFormat. 2. Due to the factory pattern used, it's unlikely other two methods would have been overridden. 3. The four methods are highly implementation specific. I consider it a mistake that the methods were exposed. " For more information see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-462.
