I'm curious to hear people's opinions on how long JDK8 should be delayed for Jigsaw.
Assuming (and please state your own assumptions when you offer your opinion): - The current release of JDK8 (without Jigsaw) stays scheduled for August 2013 - Oracle does not want to release more than once every two years. (so if JDK8 is shipped with Jigsaw then JDK9 would arrive the earliest at August 2015) - The ETA on the work to be done is accurate within 20% Then, if the work on JDK8 + Jigsaw could be shipped prior to September 2014 then I would prefer to wait. Otherwise I think that the new DateTime API and Lambda should be shipped on August 2013.
