Hi Greg, I *think* Martins preference is to develop on JDK8 and then make other branches backwards compatible. Martin, can you comment on this? I am personally not a huge fan of working on something that is not 100% GA releasable yet but I absolutely trust that what Martin is doing is solid.
Going forward, you will want to work on a branch that corresponds to a particular version of the JDK. I am not sure how to set this up in your IDE so that there is a working version that builds against multiple JDKs. Is that even possible to do to prevent duplicate copies of code?
