Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-998:
--------------------------------------
I think that's really it. I have been building with Java 8 for months now,
including Jenkins builds. There are now Java 8 features being used in the
source, so there is really no turning back now (see PIVOT-999).
> Update "trunk" to require Java 8
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: PIVOT-998
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-998
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: all
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
> Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> Since "trunk" is unreleased as of yet, and Java 8 is quite mature, and Java 9
> is due out later this year, and there are features of Java 8 (such as
> lambdas) that we would like to take advantage of for new development, it
> seems wise to require Java 8 going forward for the "trunk", while leaving the
> 2.0.x maintenance branch at Java 6. Previously we had upgraded to requiring
> Java 7 for "trunk", but that version is stabilized and no longer being
> updated...
