> Issue Type: Improvement

>
> My convoluted build process requires recompilation of Commons project with
> Java 8. ReverseComparator contains the project's sole incompatibility.
> Although Commons Collections doesn't *need* to compile with JDK 8, it could
> be made to do so with one rather harmless change. Could attached patch be
> merged into 4.1?
