We seem to have a number of numer of Java related discussions of
late. Here's another one -- the Java version we're using for builds.
Java 6 went out of update status quite some time ago -- Feb. 2013 --
and this is still being used for our Linux builds, and Windows
builds if our current binaries are produced with the same
configuration as the buildbot configurations.
Java 7 reached end-of-life in April, 2015.
Yesterday, I installed Java 8 -- openjdk version "1.8.0_65" -- on my
CentOS 6.7 (32 bit) and built. Testing resulted in OK results for
the little I did. I was concerned about the Base portion with the
installed hsqldb but so far everything is OK.
Is anyone else on other platforms using Java 8 for successful
building and testing? Windows builders? Mac builders? Others? Given
that in our next release, we will be out of the 4.1.x branch (I
think), I would think we could jump up to Java 8. I would expect
that our users would be on Java 8 already.
