Hi all, A while a go I have created a ticket for upgrading Remoting to Java 8 ( JENKINS-43985 <https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-43985>). I was waiting with this step, because 2.46.x LTS was Java 7 compatible. Now we have completely switched to Java 8 in 2.60.1, hence it is not a blocker anymore. So I would like to update the Java requirement in Remoting, especially since there is an interest to do it in order to use some Java 8 features (e.g. here <https://github.com/jenkinsci/remoting/pull/174>).
Potential impact, edge cases: - If somebody uses custom Remoting versions (e.g. by downloading the latest version to pick fixes), such approach will stop working on Java 7. So, all users of Java 7 will have to do custom builds if they want to get Remoting fixes - Backporting of fixes (e.g. custom forks or security backports) may be complicated - Swarm Plugin's Client will have to update to Java 8 in order to bundle the new remoting version Does anybody have any concerns about it?
