The only reason I can see for a new feature release would be to advance 
the minimal JVM version to the Java 11 LTS version. According to 
convention, this would require a vote by the community. I am not 
planning any work over the next year which would require Java 11 
features, so I don't personally see any compelling reason for advancing 
the JVM version.


What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

Thanks for raising the topic of a Derby release. I will move this discussion

[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-6809) Java 1.8 feature use

2020-01-05 Thread Richard N. Hillegas (Jira)

Richard N. Hillegas commented on DERBY-6809:


Thanks for volunteering to investigate these kinds of optimizations. It is 
likely that Derby performance would benefit from being run on more modern JVMs. 
Note that the current release policy is to compile Derby into Java 9 byte code. 
One practical consequence of this is that a submission can be committed only if 
it compiles cleanly on Java 9 and the tests pass on that JVM.

We could, of course, hold a vote to move the byte code level forward to Java 
11. That would make some sense since Java 11 is an LTS version and 9 isn't.
