Github user DaanHoogland commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1056#issuecomment-155536608 Optionals are great whether we need to handle or not, right? Especially in this one level case. I was thinking it would get more complicated in some cases. Even in this case if we realy think it through. If we go and think of a good pattern to handle nulls with optionals we better make it very tempting to use all over the cloud. a bigger problem then a less then perfect solution is more then one solution to a problem. it will lead to confusion. @rafaelweingartner yes we are going to 1.8. I think we can run on 1.8 now.
