Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Move to Java 8 as minimal version for XWiki 8.0+

[Caleb James DeLisle]

+1 because better the developers and the users run the same major version
of the JVM and I think most of the devs are already running 8.

Thanks,
Caleb

This is for Oracle’s JVM but all you need is to find a Java 8 JVM that

works for your OS. I don’t know the requirements for OpenJDK or other JVMs.
cool. Sounds rather acceptable to me.
+1.
(non-binding I think)

This is for Oracle’s JVM but all you need is to find a Java 8 JVM that works 
for your OS. I don’t know the requirements for OpenJDK or other JVMs.

[Paul Libbrecht]

Vincent,

can you state which minimum MacOSX, Ubuntu, and Windows version this means?
I know 10.6 is out and I've been challenged for this since XWiki moved
to Java7 already but that's past (my solution was, then, to not upgrade
my wiki).
It'd be interesting to know the coming limitations.
