Hi Everyone, May I suggest a vote in reference to the email thread and JIRA mentioned below on what follows: 1- actually upgrade to JDK 8 (by applying the patches in JIRA). 2- commit functional and Java 8 code into trunk going forward . 3- upgrade infrastructure (demo, build, ...) to host OFBiz on JDK 8 .
The patches and the code to move to JDK 8 are ready and tested with at least "./ant clean-all load-demo run-tests" on JDK 8u45 and all 882 tests pass from my side. I also logged into the system and navigated to a few random screens just to run some smoke tests randomly and I did not encounter any problems.
