Hi, at the Apache Commons Project we're currently discussing where we can host utility classes for working with the features introduced in Java 8. One proposal add this to Commons Lang [1]. Since Apache Maven makes use of Commons Lang, I would like to know whether it would be a problem for you if Commons Lang would require Java 8.
Thank you, Benedikt [1] http://markmail.org/message/ecxc4brpxufamuzu
