Hi folks! Our build, etc in theory still runs with Java6. As typical with ASF projects we make battle prooven projects for production. That means we take backward compatibility really serious.
But I think it's finally time to up the game to Java8. To indicate this I suggest to move from currently 1.8.x to 1.9.x. Note that all the rest will still be backward compatible with older versions! We also might still ship 1.8.2, 1.8.3, etc as Java7 compatible version if there is any necessity. Any objections? LieGrue, strub
