Having said that, I'm fine with bumping to Java 8 in Maven core now.

I'm not saying that we should start to rewrite everything, but just setting the baseline saying that new code may use new APIs, language features, etc. /Anders [1] https://www.ibm.com/cloud/blog/websphere-application-server-extends-java-se-7-support > > Emmanuel Bourg > > [1] > https://access.redhat.com/articles/1299013#OpenJDK_Lifecycle_Dates_and_RHEL_versions > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org > >
