Hi All, I like projects that have a road-map page. It can be vague or precise. But we should at least discuss it here. I am bringing this up partly in light of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1883
How about: v 2.x - Java 7 v 3.x - Java 8 v 4.x - Java 9 Is that too weird? I am not in love with it either. I am just concerned that: - We might hang on to Java 7 a little too long. - We are missing on getting into Java 8. I feel like we are. (Jetty, Hibernate, Teiid, and others are on Java 8, sure they are higher level pieces but still, the momentum is there.) - Playing with an unreleased Java 9 might bite us with Ralph's double compile (which I'll admit I have not seen ;-) or really know if Java 9 compiled code would end up in our releases (which could bite us or not.) Thoughts?
