json-simple fails to build with Java 8 due to a test failure:

Failed tests:   testEncode(org.json.simple.Test):
expected:<{"[array1":["abc\u0010a\/",123,222.123,true],"weight":60.21,"age":27,"name":"fang"],"is_developer":true...>
but
was:<{"[name":"fang","weight":60.21,"array1":["abc\u0010a\/",123,222.123,true],"age":27],"is_developer":true...>


A fix is available upstream but hasn't been released yet:
