Doesn't work on Java 8

[Stexxen]

Unfortunately it doesn't compile under java 8.
First problem was the Scala version (2.8) is incompatible. I upgraded the support compiler to 2.11 but that doesn't work at all, as some required annotations have been removed (@serialization)
2.10 seems to get further ( The annotations are present, but deprecated) but I then blows up at another error

error: bad symbolic reference. A signature in Generic.class refers to type Collection
in package scala.package which is not available.
It may be completely missing from the current classpath, or the version on
the classpath might be incompatible with the version used when compiling Generic.class.

Hi,

I'm the original contributor for scala/sbinary (several years ago). Sbinary is no longer use is scala env.
IMHO, scala should be simply remove from the bench.

Just as an FYI, I'm sorta looking into this now.

• Upgrading to Scala 2.11.2 (though there's a bug in the way it handles
  Java files that I'm trying to work around)
• Removing sbinary
• Adding scala-pickling (though there's a bug in the way it's macro
  references classes that I'm trying to fix).

Also, is anybody an SBT expert? I think switching to SBT as a build tool
might improve a few things. Unfortunately, the build is pretty complicated
(since it involves codegen) and I don't think I have the SBT knowledge to
do it myself.

Ok, I upgraded to Scala 2.11.2. Hopefully that works under Java 8, but I
haven't tried.

I filed a bug against scala-pickling. When they fix it, I'll try adding it
to the benchmark.

Works with Java 8 now.
