Tyler Palsulich commented on TIKA-1536:
---------------------------------------
Are there significant upgrades we're looking to include in 1.8 for users who
would not be able to upgrade to Java 7? If not, what is the difference between
releasing 1.8 with no Java 6 support and releasing 1.8 with the announcement
that 1.9 will not support Java 6?
> Upgrade compiler definition in pom's to Java 7
