Hi Bram,

I didn't see one either, so I created one.

https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2653

To be clear though, Java 7 is actually not entirely EOL (it's "end of update"). Plus, RedHat has now stepped in to take over OpenJDK7 ongoing support.

A few articles of note:
* Spring describes why they still support Java 7 (and 6): https://spring.io/blog/2015/04/01/ongoing-support-for-java-7-and-even-java-6 * RedHat taking over OpenJDK7: http://www.infoworld.com/article/2938303/java/red-hat-takes-the-reins-for-openjdk-7.html

In any case, I still think we should move to using Java 8, as it is the latest & greatest. So, anyone is more than welcome to add more info to the ticket above as needed (especially as you start playing with DSpace + Java 8)

Tim

Hi,

do we already have a JIRA ticket to track this? I did a quick search and didn't immediately find one.

    Hi All,

    The JDK lifecycle length has changed in Java 7, with Oracle ending
    public support for Java 7 this month, April 2015.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

    I don't know if major testing of DSpace with Java 8 has occurred,
    but it appears that the time to shift to JDK8 has already
    happened. To me, it feels like JDK6 was supported for a very very
    long time, and now JDK7 feels short lived in comparison. So, I was
    wondering if there was any JAVA8 known issues with DSpace.
