Hi,
Hi!
I expected that someone would bring up this point. I know how hard it is
to get a large company to use up-to-date software.
However, I don't think that this should stop us from requiring Java 8.
First of all, you can use a separate JRE/JDK to run your Tapestry
application, you just need to set your JAVA_HOME accordingly, and
second, if we switch to Java 8, that doen't mean that we force anyone to
use Java 8 features, it should still compile and run Java 5 code fine.
But, in order to have Tapestry using Java 8 in its sources and compile to
Java 6 or 7 we will be able to use most of the new syntax, but none of the
Java 8-introduced classes and interfaces like streams. I'm not sure how
much we can use Java 8 in Tapestry keeping it runnable under Java 7. Of
course, this is someone we should research.
