Historically I have been a strong opponent to Java version upgrades for Tapestry because IMO the disadvantages outweighed the advantages by far.
Now that we have lambda expressions, default methods, Nashorn and many other useful features I'm leaning towards making a radical break and switch to Java 8. We should have a formal vote for such a radical change and a discussion firstin order to gather comments and opinions from the community.
