We might not be that far apart, at my work, we care very much about IBM,
AIX, the i/Series and z/Series. I just do not want to linger on an old
platform. We just need to strike a balance. Now that Java 8 is out, I see a
much stronger desire from developers to use it than I did when Java 7 came
out.
Oops. Sorry. The End of Service date for Java 6 on everything but z/OS (IBM
mainframes) is September 2017. That would include AIX. Java 7 EOS on AIX is
Sept 2019, which lines up with Oracle’s end of Premium support for Java 7.
I agree with keeping it simple. We will provide support until Oracle
I really don’t think there are that many features where we would need JDK
specific implementations of something.
The problem is, your definition of “dead” and mine are different. I know very
well that there are many users still on JDK 6. Also, IBM [1] still has not
announced an end of service
I think we should keep it simple. If some version of Java is dead, past
public update EOLs, then it's OK by me to switch _master development_ to a
supported Java version. To me, this means that all master development
should be on Java 7 now.
Perso, I do not want to support multiple Java versions i
