I’ll bump the version, but that’s definitely not the source of the jxBrowser dependency not resolving. ---

It got moved. Your IDE should be able to find it for you, but if not: `com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.tags.model.ClientTagManager` Other things moved too, so be ready to fix/find new import locations 🙂 ---

Indeed that class has been removed in Ignition 8. You’ll probably want to migrate to `com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.tags.model.ClientTagManager` which is the analogous class (but interfaces with the new Tag system). We are in the process of building 8.0 javadocs and will get something posted today. ---

Do you just need the value of system flags, or do you specifically need `parseSafe`? If the former, from the client module hook you can cast the `ClientContext` you get in the module hook’s `startup` to a `VisionClientContext`, then `getSystemUtils().getSystemFlags()`. If you actually need `parseSafe`, then the new class is `com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.tags.paths.parser.TagPathParser::parseSafe` ---

> [@paul-griffith](#): > > com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.tags.paths.parser.TagPathParser::parseSafe I subscribe to the tag, with an com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.sqltags.model.event.TagChangeListener; I suppose I need to use a : import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.tags.model.event.TagChangeListener; but equivalent com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.sqltags.model.TagProp don't exist in 8.0 ? perhaps, now the TagProp to subscribe can be mentionned with ClientTagManager.subscribeAsync ? ---

Here is a link to download a zip of the current beta javadocs, they should prove very helpful. We are also in the process of uploading the docs to be browsable online, I will follow up with a post with that link once it’s available.

FWIW, I’ve an updated [Simulation Aids for Ignition8](https://www.automation-pros.com/ignv8/Simulation%20Aids-1.7.8.1811131917-v8.modl). It turned out relatively simple once I got my dev environment set up on Java11: BaseContext ==\> CommonContext and Quality/DataQuality ==\> QualityCode were the only notable changes. ---

I just tried to create a new maven project based on sdk from the default archetype from Ignition's Maven repository and changed the default sdk version 7.7.5 to 8.0.0 in POM file ``` 8.0.0 ``` But it gives errors in the empty project itself for G-D and C projects (package not found). import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.licensing.LicenseState; import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.model.AbstractGatewayModuleHook; import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.model.GatewayContext; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; Trying to resolve automatically by IDE (NETbeans) doesn't resolve the issue. Where as for the default sdk version (7.7.5) it resolves properly. I am unable to build an empty project itself for version 8? What could be wrong! ---

We haven’t released 8.0 yet. Try `8.0.0-SNAPSHOT` like the [examples](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples) are using right now. ---

Ok. However the previous version (7.\*) is building the modl files but its getting rejected by Ignition while installing in version 8.0, it says major version mismatch, which is understandable. Is there a way to force the installation on 8.0 as my modules use just a few very basic api's of sdk which I am sure are not going to change from 7 to 8? I am mainly trying to load some external jar files in to Ignition thru this module, as copying them in user lib folder will require restarting of gateway, which I want to avoid. Is there any alternative approach available? This is only for version 8, as for version 7 the modl is building and installing in Ignition. regards ---

Change the required version in your module.xml to be 8.0.0. You can’t have the same module file work in both 7.9 and 8.0. Create a branch in your source control for v8. There’s no alternative. ---

I renamed the signed file **.modl** to **.zip** and edited the **module.xml** file and changed version from **7.7.3** to **8.0.0** in re-zip it back to my signed module . While installing it in Ignition 8 it says Entry: "module.xml" not found. See log for details. the module.xml is there in the modl file! (In fact even while installing it on Ignition 7.9.10 I get the same error!) Anything missing in the Maven POM file? I just used the default settings while creating empty maven project from Ignition G-D-C archetype !
