Matt Nelson commented on MNG-6399:
----------------------------------
I would like to consider a JDK uplift from the larger maven ecosystem
perspective, specifically for plugin developers. I think a barrier for
contributions is going emerge by requiring the lowest common denominator
compile targets.
Java 8 introduced quite a few language features that can simplify plugin
development(lambdas and streams). I just attempted to introduce a new feature
on a plugin that took quite a few more lines and time to implement where a
parallel stream would've reduced it to a handful of lines in a few minutes.
