Hi,

Building json_simple 1.1.1 with

java-1.8.0-openjdk

maven-3.2.2

The tests unfortunately fail, I've attached the full build log

The order of the hash in Java 8 changes, so the expect value doesn't match the result: it's not a problem of this library, but a problem of the test case. Just comment out the codes in JUnit test case and it should work.

Will fix the test case to avoid confusion. Thank you for reporting this issue.

Updated codes in SVN. To push it to maven repo.
