+1 for Java 8. Note that right now the default Java version for modules is 6, with 10 bundles ( including commons/compiler, extensions/event and installer/providers/file ) requiring Java 7 and 4 bundles requiring Java 8 ( validation bundles and fling sample ). Maybe we should also open up the discussion of moving to Java 7 and droppping Java 6 support. Oracle discontinued public support for Java 6 in Feb 2013. IBM is AFAIK still supporting it for Websphere 8.0, this means that we will require Websphere 8.5 for WAR deployments ( which is OK I guess... ) Robert
