Also confused. If this is all so people can still code for Java 8 in
this day and age, I say drop support for JDK8 ("Nuke the site from
orbit, it's the only way to be sure"). I may be out of touch, being
retired for eight years now, but IMHO anyone still using Java 8 would be
better off to stay in his parents' basement with his VAX-11 coding
assembly language. It's getting as bad as the Python 2/3 thing was.
And if it's so you can code using new features not available in the JDK
you're using... use the newer JDK! I just don't understand any of this,
but I do remember a time when NetBeans was the leader in out-of-box
support for new language features.

+1, what are we even talking about here? Java 6? seriously?
