On FreeBSD (which I track myself for work and on which many of the Jenkins
slaves run) Java 8 is still in testing. I'd give it another month or so. But
some of the Linux environments should have it if we bind our test runs to those
slaves only.
In my own work, based on Cayenne 3.2, I'm not seeing any OSX/Java 8 issues. But
I'm not running the Cayenne test suite, just our own.
