IMHO it just cannot be compiled in Java 8, but existing code will run. You can even build your own stuff with Java 8 and a dependency to cc-3.x as long as you do not use the MultiValueMap or code that uses it internally hiding behind the Map interface. Maybe we should evaluate further what is actually broken in combination with a Java 8 runtime and the problem will manifest at runtime. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@commons.apache.org
