@Stephen Nice to have Lambda Expressions. @all Question.. Are we all open for reworking Java code to use Lambda expressions and do we have spare time? I am open for that but there are few pitfalls with Java8. 1. people may still use Java 6 or 7. 2. AFAIK Java 8 compiler involves Java 8 imports even if -source -target is 1.7. 3. sniffer plugin was not able to identify Java 8 class in sources if signature is org.codehaus.mojo.signature:java17:1.0 4. what about toolchain. Can user have java_home set to JDK1.8 and toolchain 1.7 without any problems?
