Ok, so I take the silence to mean there is nothing controversial here. I did not want to speak first, to ensure my opinion does not prevent others from expressing theirs, but since it has been 2 weeks I think it is ok to say that I am +1 for such an increase -- making Jackson 2.14 require Java 8 for all of its components. We still want to consider some limits of platforms like Android, but in general I think time has come. So... speak now or forever hold your peace. :) -+ Tatu +- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jackson-dev" group.
