I haven't thought too much about consequences, but if we do that, to me it means that we can't release Lucene/Solr 5 soon since we can't expect all users to be on Java 8 soon after its release. So I would rather like that we wait a bit before doing that in order to still have the opportunity to release Lucene/Solr 5 if we get some nice backward-incompatible changes in the next months? -- Adrien --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
