So, if for some business reason you are forced to CODE AGAINST pre Java 8 runtime platform , you have two options: - use the latest Java and Maven and make use of toolchains targeting old Java (same thing you probably do with your IDE as well) - use the same versions of tools that are from the era when that Java was latest. Accept that with non-evolved Java your Java toolbox cannot evolve either. T
