This might've been buried under the 'Closeable' thread so resending so that it does not suprise anyone.
Currently our projects can use either Java 5 or 6, with 5 being the default. This is very much out of date and we're missing out on language improvements. I would suggest changing the supported Java versions from - 5 (default), 6 - 6, 7 (default) I would have preferred - 6, 7 (default), 8 But Java 8 support is blocked due to SLING-4702 [1]. Thoughts on the proposed change for the supported Java versions?
