Hi guys, following a discussion we have had on the dev list regarding the support of Java 6 and the strain it puts on some of the maven dependencies we are using, here is a proposal to stop supporting Java 6 and to only support Java 7 & 8 from now on.
Keep in mind that Java 6 is not anymore supported by Oracle (except for paying customers) since feb 2013, and Java 7 is out for now 3 years. So let's vote : [ ] +1 yes, drop Java 6 and make the projects only supporting Java 7 from now on [ ] +/- 0 : I don't mind/ no strong opinion [ ] -1 no, we should keep going and adapt to support Java 6 Many thanks !
