sagar commented on DERBY-6809:
------------------------------
Thanks Mike ...
Thing is not just java 7,8,9 support per se
but specifically if code can be auto modified usig tools to take advantage of
new language features specifically the lambdas n streams n collections n
concurrency changes along with the new io enhancements and stronger encryptions
in java8 ...
then we can see performance benefits as well as security improvements ...
software always played catch up to hardware advancements and now java 8
presents an opportunity to truely leverage the multicore processors so that
even on a simple dualcore netbook the advantages can be seen which alloys
software developers using derby in their products apps etc. to ve more flexible
and have some more horizontal growth on their products ...
so my point is not just be able to compile and run on newer java but take
advantage of the neweer features in java new versions
> Java 1.8 feature use
