Hi, there is no timeline at the moment but there is a lot of work left to do. I would say that it's unlike to see a final release of Wicket 8 in less then a year. For some hints on how Java 8 can improve your coding, take a look at wicketstuff module 'lambda' : https://github.com/wicketstuff/core/tree/master/lambda-parent It contains lambda-based models that can be quite helpful to keep your code shorter and simplier.
