From the sidelines:
Going to 8 would not be good for the products I work on.
These are based on Debian Jessie, which has 7.
We _can_ get 8 though backports but are a bit hesitant to do that.
I guess all products based on 'older' distros would suffer when going to 8.
My 2 cents.

I wonder, whether not go directly to Java 7 (or even 8) ? IIRC we stayed at 1.4
for a long time as Java 1.4 was the latest version available on mobile/embedded
platforms for a long time. Now the latest versions for these is Java 8, so I
think we might not restrict ourselves to Java 6 any longer.
WDYT ?

---------------------------------------
Summary: Use Java 6 as minimum version
Key: FELIX-5459
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5459
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Declarative Services (SCR)
Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
Fix For: scr-2.1.0
Currently we have Java 5 as the min version, considering that R7 of the OSGi
spec is at least targetting Java 7 or even Java 8, this looks really out of
date.
I suggest we move to Java 6 for now
