I'd prefer moving to Java6, since there are still companies using Java6 or 
Java7.Is Java8 really required to implement some of the new features?The more 
JDK's we support, the more people can make use of Ant!

However, since I'm not that active in the Ant development, I won't block the 
vote for this:-0

 Onderwerp: [VOTE] Adopt Java8 as Baseline for 1.10 on master Branch
   
Hi all

after the recent discussion, I'd like to propose the following:

* create a branch 1.9.x that we use for Java5 compatible maintenance
  releases - with Jenkins Matrix Builds, of course.

* change the version number of the master branch to 1.10.0alpha
  (-SNAPSHOT, whatever) and make Java8 the new baseline for that - with
  Gump and Jenkins Matrix Builds for Java8 (and 9 once it becomes
  available).

Please cast your votes, will be open for about three days.

Cheers

        Stefan
