If it were my choice, Mac OS X 10.8 would be the base OS with Xcode

the public lifecycle of JDK8. What I would be more concerned with is
the apparent drift from what we know as Mac OS X towards something
more iOS-like, that could mean libraries and frameworks we depend on
no longer being available, but at that point it wouldn't be the same
OS and we'd have to re-evaluate anyways. Sort of like what's happening
with Windows 8 right now.
Sorry for what may be considered muddying the waters, since this is a
JDK8 discussion.
What about JDK7 update builds? We currently use the same set of macosx
hardware for both 7u & 8. Does JPRT / others do so as well, or do
they maintain separate systems for 7u.
JPRT as far as I know only uses 10.7 systems for builds. The 10.8
systems can only be used for testing.
