> Hi @garydgregory > you're right, I didn't realize that it actually requires version 1.7. How can i start the process to migrate the libs to java 1.8? You can't, each component is different, and not everyone always agrees when it is time to update to Java 8. One component which already _is_ on Java 8 is Commons VFS, and it still has bits that are in the JUnit 3 style, like subclassing `TestCase`. Some of the VFS tests don't even run properly from Eclipse! :-( So a TODO for the community IMO would be to update VFS to be fully on JUnit 4 as a first step (one thing at a time) and then update it to JUnit 5. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
