Robert Munteanu resolved SLING-4702.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fixed in https://svn.apache.org/r1683638 . Signature checking is skipped for
now with Java 8, and we'll have to revisit once we will support Java 9.
> Support setting sling.java.version to 8
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-4702
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4702
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: General
> Affects Versions: Parent 22
> Reporter: Robert Munteanu
> Assignee: Robert Munteanu
> Fix For: Parent 23
>
>
> We should support setting sling.java.version to 8, to allow modules to take
> advantage of the new Java 8 features ( the default setting of 5 should be
> discussed separately ).
> For now the only issue I see is that the animal-sniffer-maven-plugin does not
> supply a signature for checking Java 8 ( see
> [MANIMALSNIFFER-44|http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANIMALSNIFFER-44] ).
> We could
> # wait for a set of signatures to be deployed
> # generate and deploy signatures ourselves
> # skip the signature check for Java 8, on the assumption that it's the most
> recent version anyway and [Java 9 will be released on 22 Sep
> 2016|http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2015-May/002172.html]
> Since 2 and 3 would complicate the parent pom even more and we don't have a
> pressing need to update to Java 8 yet I am going to go with option 1.
