Hello Everyone, We created and provided the patches for this issue since June and OFBiz is pretty much ready to move to JDK 8. I'm not sure if lazy consensus is enough or whether a vote is warranted to move this issue forward?

It is more about when to move it into trunk, as from that moment on there will be backward compatibility issues. A helpful solution in this respect could be to designate a specific release branch now (e.g. r15 or r16), create the version in JIRA and setup the dev branch in svn. Doing it that way J8 related issues can get registered, changes can get implemented and assessed (in the dev branch) without breaking current stuff in trunk. But it also ensures that we can create awareness prior to releasing stuff.
