I plan on building the release with Java 7. I will give the site build a shot with Java 8 and see how it comes out. I am hopeful I can do the 2.4 release over the holiday weekend. Ralph > On Jun 30, 2015, at 8:51 AM, Gary Gregory wrote: > > Well, it's all at the RM's discretion but you could

Yes, we need to be careful: if we compile with java8 the class version will be such that a java 7 JRE will refuse to load our jar ("Incompatible class version"). I also like the java8 Javadoc though. Sent from my iPhone > On 2015/06/30, at 8:38, Ralph Goers wrote: > > That would be the site

That would be the site build. I always build the artifacts with the idk we are targeting just to be safe. Ralph > On Jun 29, 2015, at 4:24 PM, Gary Gregory wrote: > > Mostly to RG: Any thoughts on building with Java 8 to get the nicer looking > Javadocs? > > Gary > > -- > E-Mail: garydgreg
