+1.
However because of intense usage of Lambdas in Java 8, we should bring
up guide lines for writing persistable code [1]
and elaborate more on the paragraph from [1]
"Never use anonymous inner classes - even in static contexts. The
auto-generated class names are brittle, making backwards compatibility
harder.".
The above is especially true for config values.

I have been hoping we could get round to this soon, think it's a good
idea.

Hi all,
I propose we switch to Java 8 for Apache Brooklyn (i.e. require Java
8;
remove support for using Java 7 when running Brooklyn).
This will make our testing simpler, improving coverage (e.g. we don't
currently test everything with Brooklyn running both on Java 7 and
Java
8). It will make our lives easier as developers (e.g. don't need to
worry about Java 7 versus Java 8 when compiling, running tests and
manually testing Brooklyn; and we can use Java 8 features).
Java 7 reached end of life in April 2015 [1]; Java 8 was released
March
2014.
We can do this in three stages:
* Switch to Java 8 as "official target"
o Update our jenkins etc to always build/run with Java 8.
o All developers/testers switch to Java 8 locally.
o Add to the next release notes that Java 7 is no longer
supported.
* Update our poms so they don't compile/check for Java 7
compatibility
[3,4,5].
* Developers free to start using Java 8 language features!
Stage 1 would be the bare minimum for the next release; I think we
should do all three stages before the 0.11.0 release.
