+1 for this. But it is not because of the lambdas(personally I do like the lambdas, but it is not a reason that could convince me to update the JDK). The OpenJDK7 is not supported basing on OpenJDK life cycle police any more recently(EOS since June, 2020) - and this is why I think should update our JDK version. See also : https://access.redhat.com/articles/1299013#OpenJDK_Life_Cycle (https://link.getmailspring.com/link/ae79c885-e8df-4f0c-a413-7e98025fe...@getmailspring.com/0?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Faccess.redhat.com%2Farticles%2F1299013%23OpenJDK_Life_Cycle&recipient=ZGV2QGNvbW1vbnMuYXBhY2hlLm9yZw%3D%3D)
Maybe we should have a common strategy to determine when should we update our JDK version for all Commons components? BTW : we should state the upgrade out in our README and some other places in our site if we really to do this.
