Hmm, EE8 requires Java8. Just from the API alone. And anything compiled with Java8 will also run on Java9, right?
So I'd say the minimum requirement in TomEE8 is Java8. Btw, we still can use Java9 for the TomEE8 development! The new Java9 Maven build chain supports to generate real Java8 code by making use of the new Java9 javac --release feature. Imo we should be perfectly fine supporting Java8++ in TomEE8 LieGrue, strub > Am 28.09.2017 um 19:15 schrieb David Blevins <david.blev...@gmail.com>: > > >> On Sep 27, 2017, at 3:00 AM, cocorossello <cocorosse...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> One question about future TomEE 8.
