Ceki has started a poll to upgrade Logback to Java 8 - https://doodle.com/poll/s7n3wk59694pmnbs <https://doodle.com/poll/s7n3wk59694pmnbs>. The last poll I saw was in May of last year that had Java 7 at about 30%. https://plumbr.io/blog/java/java-version-and-vendor-data-analyzed-2017-edition <https://plumbr.io/blog/java/java-version-and-vendor-data-analyzed-2017-edition>. Based on the Java 6 graph I anticipate that Java 7 will be under 20% this year. I had been thinking that upgrading to Java 8 in September or so would be the right time, but with all this modularization work I am wondering if moving to Java 8 now makes more sense.
Thoughts? Ralph
