Hi Taher, All,

This was a bit premature, but I think now that Adrian has agreed about using LinkedHashMap in StringUtil substitutionPatternMap (with an improvement on thread-safety, also thanks Scoot for confirmation about the origin of the issue) and fixed generics for ECJ (Eclipse compiler for internal Java auto-completion), we should do a vote again about allowing to use Java 8 new features in trunk. I can take care of the infrastructure upgrade...

Note: I just successfully ran the tests again with jdk1.8.0_31 on Win 7 (trunk 
HEAD)

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.
