We're still running Java 6 mostly because there just wasn't a compelling
reason to move to Java 7. So I'd be reluctant to drop support too quickly.
But Java 8 looks very nice; if dropping support for Java 6 speeds up the
process of getting to Java 8 then it might be worth it.
Java 8 also includes the new Date & Time API (JSR-310), which should
probably be supported in Cayenne eventually. It's very similar to Joda
from what I hear.
