Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-905:
---------------------------------------
bq. But how long is an appropriate time to wait before moving on, since EOL
seems to be the incorrect timeframe.
For Accumulo 1.6.0 if you are interested in switching to Java 1.7, I propose
you call a vote on the issue. If not for Accumulo 1.6.0 then we can reconsider
the issue for Accumulo 1.7.0.
> Switch to Java 1.7
> ------------------

> Key: ACCUMULO-905
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-905
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> Labels: java, jdk1.7
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
> Attachments: ACCUMULO-905-1.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 5m
> Time Spent: 0.05h
> Remaining Estimate: 2m
>
> As 1.7 becomes the default Java in more and more operating systems, and
> security-related bugfixes and other fixes in Java itself are targeted more
> towards newer versions, rather than maintaining older versions, it would be
> prudent to switch to using 1.7 as our target platform.
> This change would allow us to leverage some of the newer features of Java.
> This change can be established at the beginning of the development cycle for
> Accumulo 1.6.0, so that we can immediately begin taking advantage of the new
> Java features in 1.6.0 features after 1.5.0 is released.
