Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-895:
--------------------------------------
Add a new issue: PIVOT-968 for try-with-resource.
> Update requirements to Java 7
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: PIVOT-895
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-895
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sandro Martini
> Assignee: Sandro Martini
> Labels: build, dependencies, java
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> Now that Java 6 is going in Out-of-Life (and support without paying for it)
> it's time to update dependencies and require Java 7 as a minimum version to
> build and run Pivot Applications.
> Of course maintenance branch 2.0.x will stay with Java 6 as requirements.
> Some related info:
> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
> http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/08/ava-6-eol-extended
> And then, verify if disable (not delete for now) existing jobs on Jenkins
> that builds the trunk with Java 6 ... anyway they could be useful to see if
> we have some incompatibility with Java 6.
> Then, we can even remove few little tricks due to bugs (not fixed) in Java 6.
