Hi,

even if we do not need to do it right now, as many other ASF project I'd
like to kick off a discussion for thoughts on moving the minimum Java
requirement for Marmotta to Java 8.  There are a two immediate reasons that
make this seem wise:

1) Java 7 EOL and specifically for security fixes
  https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_7.xml

2) Key dependencies (Sesame, etc) moving to Java 8 soon...

Now, item 1 does not mean we must move our minimum to Java 8 but item
2 will do. Java 8 offers some nice language enhancements which could be
quite useful within the framework.

Thanks
