Hi Ferrie
I heard that before in other places, but I am bit concerned with this
stance, because: AFAICT Debian Jessie based on OpenJDK 7 and this
basically is not really supported, is it ? All work seems to go
toward OpenJDK 8/Java 8 and now Java 9.
You don't have to convince me. _Everything_ in Debian is old, too old.
Debian is not my choice...
I'm already suffering from the J8 thing because IIRC I can't upgrade
org.apache.felix.http.jetty beyond 3.1.6
OTOH, if you guys would decide to switch to 8 that would give me
ammunition to force J8 into our product, which is something I've wanted
for a long time. However, that would not be an easy battle for me.
Two sides to the story :-(
So,I think it is unfortunate that OpenJDK 8 is only available through
the Jessie back ports. But still, I think this should not prevent
users from using it.
But that is your take, for sure. Just some other light on this
strange Debian situation.

From the sidelines:
Going to 8 would not be good for the products I work on. These are
based on Debian Jessie, which has 7. We _can_ get 8 though
backports but are a bit hesitant to do that.
I guess all products based on 'older' distros would suffer when
going to 8.
My 2 cents.

I wonder, whether not go directly to Java 7 (or even 8) ? IIRC we
stayed at 1.4 for a long time as Java 1.4 was the latest version
available on mobile/embedded platforms for a long time. Now the
latest versions for these is Java 8, so I think we might not
restrict ourselves to Java 6 any longer.
WDYT ?

---------------------------------------
Summary: Use Java 6 as minimum version Key: FELIX-5459 URL:

Felix Issue Type: Improvement Components: Declarative Services
(SCR) Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler Fix
For: scr-2.1.0
Currently we have Java 5 as the min version, considering that
R7 of the OSGi spec is at least targetting Java 7 or even Java
8, this looks really out of date. I suggest we move to Java 6
for now
