JBoss 6 EAP is Java8 on EE6 - still often used in production
WebSphere 8.5.x is Java8 on EE6 - still often used in production
WebLogic is mess on it's own afaict. There are WLS12 which target EE6 and some
which are target EE7. Not having them at any of my customers though
TomEE-1.7.5 runs fine
Strictly speaking, DS1.x is Java EE 6 based (because we are using CDI 1.0,
JSF 2.0)
But probably no harm in just setting compiler to java 8. (and indicate that
DS 1.9 only run on Java EE 7 server with Java 8)

I think assuming all EE7 vendors support Java 8 then I think its fine. But
I definitely believe we can't do EE6 on Java 8.

DS1.x = JavaEE 7
DS2.x = JavaEE 8
Java8 in 1.x is fine for me, we can try to improve our APIs with Java8
In 2.x we can even improve further and cleanup then

It is way too early for cdi 2, almost no users rely on that yet compared to
cdi 1.x.

Maybe not drop EE7. I think all current app servers supporting Java EE 7
runs on Java 8.
But removing EE6, means for example that we no longer need BeanProvider and
other specific code for EE6.
So changing to Java 8 has quite some impact (but Java 8 is wanted I guess)
and thus requires 2.x
IMHO to move to Java 8 we need to drop support for EE6/EE7. So to me that
says the next version is 2.0 not 1.9.x.
There are some weld 1.1 versions that support this, but no testable AS7
instance that we can check against.

+1, we will get Java10 really soon, so requiring at least Java8 seems
reasonable.
