Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MWAR-369:
------------------------------------------
[~joehni] Unfortunately that within the changelog it is not clearly stated that
those things are only called by reflection. So reading the changelog and
finding things like {{lambda expressions}} my assumption is that JDK 8 is
needed and used. After taking a deeper look into the code i saw checkers for
JDK' versions...So i can do the update and make the exclusion for those
particular classes.
