IllegalAccessError when trying to serialize java.util.Calendar

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Add the code:

Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
Map<String,Object> myMap = new HashMap<>();
myMap.put("myDate",rightNow);
System.out.println("The JSON Object: " + JSONObject.toJSONString(myMap));

2. Build : mvn clean package
3. And execute: java -jar target/my-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

I created a github repo with the code to show you the problem:

https://github.com/jmaslibre/jsmart-test

To reproduce the problem using it:

1. git clone git@github.com:jmaslibre/jsmart-test.git
2. cd cd jsmart-test/
3. mvn clean package
4. java -jar target/my-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The JSON Object: <json represantation of the object>

Instead I get:

You have to register Calandar Type to make it serialisable.

JSONValue.registerWriter(Calendar.class, new JsonWriterI<Calendar>() {
// serialisation code.
}) {
