No, not at all. We'd get the ability to code against JDK11, 12, 13, 14, ...
APIs while running the build on JDK8. To quote the website:
frgaal is about language features. You can code against 8 and get some
language features of 8+. But you can't code against 8+ since 8 does not
have the APIs of 8+. Anything else would be magic (and technically no
longer a JDK 8 runtime). The maven dependency is a compiler, not a
runtime or boot classpah ;).
this isn't a novel idea, i vaguely remember compilers which brought
generics to java 1.4 or something similar. (can't remember the name
right now)
adding extra steps to stay on 8 is the wrong direction IMO.
