Not opposed to an upgrade to Java 8, but not sure 5.4 is the right time for it. 5.4 has been long-enough in coming that I feel it would be better to release 5.4, and use 5.5 as the java8 upgrade, possibly with a fairly short release time between 5.4 and 5.5. Basically, 5.5 could be “5.4 with java 8 compatibility” (and whatever new features (like the httpOnly cookie flag ticket you commented on recently) that would need > java 1.5 to support).
