[infinispan-dev] Baselining on Java 7

Yup, it needs to happen sometime. But the question is, when? Is there anyone out there who desperately needs Infinispan to work on Java 6? Cheers Manik -- Manik Surtani ma...@jboss.org twitter.com/maniksurtani Platform Architect, JBoss Data Grid http://red.ht/data-grid ___

WildFly already requires Java7. Hibernate Search will likely stay a bit longer on 6, and depends on Infinispan, but this dependency is an isolated module so we can live with it by making our build a bit more painful. Users would then need Java7 only if they want to use the Infinispan extensions.

Just to clarify, Infinispan 6.0 will *not* baseline on Java 7. My email is just to get a feel of who still requires Java 6. My gut feel is that we're at least a year away from baselining on Java 7, possibly for Infinispan 8.0 (and JGroups 5.0). - M On 23 May 2013, at 12:11, Sanne Grinovero

If the majority of users go directly to 8 from 6, then yes why not. But if that's not the case, then we can't do it, either... On 5/23/13 3:07 PM, Galder ZamarreƱo wrote: > What about skipping 7 and waiting for 8? > > On May 23, 2013, at 12:38 PM, Manik Surtani wrote: > >> Yup, it needs to happe

Oracle will support Java 7 at least until March 2015 [1]. And it's very likely that some people will keep using 7 after that, just like they are using 6 now. So unless we want to support Java 6 until 2016, I don't think we can skip 7. [1] http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html On

or when you guys explicitly support IPoIB in Infinispan/JGroups. And then, off we go. (But with Java 7, as we all know, this can be done today!) Thanks again, Bela. Let's keep these musings flowing. Ben -- View this message in context: http://infinispan-developer-list.980875.n3.nabble.co
