Incremental CMS Error (Java 1.8.0_20)

[Sprite99]

Incremental CMS is deprecated in Java 8 (Noted at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8-compatibility-guide-2156366.html). This seems to cause an error which prevents the launch of Minecraft w/ Forge installed.

Explain yourself, again, Forge works JUST FINE on java 8. The sceme that the garbage collection uses has no effect on Forge.

I didn't want to make a new post about this, but I was using Java 8 for the longest time until I just updated to 1.8.0_20 and now I'm incapable of opening Forge with any version.

 

I found this, https://github.com/MultiMC/MultiMC5/issues/198 which explains a lot. I'm not sure if this has been posted on in another topic, if so please forward me. The only fix I found was to install Java 7, which I'd prefer not to do...

 

Thanks

which I'd prefer not to do...

This seems to be an issue with Java 1.8.0_20, I suggest uninstalling it and downgrading to 1.8.0_11, you can find older versions of java here:
