------------------------------------------
Summary: Upgrade project from Java 7 to 8
Key: MSHADE-393
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-393
Project: Maven Shade Plugin
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: 3.2.4
Reporter: Alexander Kriegisch
If there is no specific reason forcing use to stay on Java source and target
level 7, I suggest upgrading to Java 8. When working on pull requests, it felt
quite uncomfortable not being able to use streams, interface default methods,
lambdas.
Is there a huge user base using Java 7 and still relying on Maven Shade
upgrades? I.e. they want the latest features and bugfixes, but are unable to
migrate to Java 8. That would be quite a sense of entitlement on their part.
