The vote on user@ about switching to Java 8 has concluded, affirmatively. What needs to be done to complete the switch? I can see at least the following: - Change maven and gradle scripts to use 1.8 source and target version - Fix resulting compilation/test errors (Java8 has slightly different type checking, more minor issues may arise) - Remove all special-casing of java8 in build scripts - Merge all modules like "java8 examples" and "java8 tests" into respective non-"java8" modules - Organize an effort to modernize code to use Java 8 constructs where appropriate. Especially important to modernize examples. To a large extent this can probably be automated with an IDE.
Anything else?
