Hi! I have a suggestion about how we can imporove our support for Java8.
Maven is able to use different 'toolchains' [1] and make any module choose which one to use [2]. You can see how I did set this up in Apache Tamaya [3] The idea is to have a java8 module which has entities with java8 features so we can better test those. The reason I like to have this is that I did not manage to get OpenJPA working with entities containing lambdas.
