Upgrade to pac4j v1.9 ?

Hi,

In Knox, the CAS, OAuth, SAML and OpenID Connect authentications are done
by the gateway-provider-security-pac4j module, which is based on j2e-pac4j
v1.2 and pac4j v1.8.

Though, pac4j is now in version 1.9 and I just released the j2e-pac4j
v1.3.1 (based on pac4j v1.9.1).

As APIs have not changed much, the upgrade in Knox should be seamless,
except that it now requires Java 8 while Knox is built with Java 7.

Is the upgrade to Java 8 planned / possible and then the upgrade to pac4j
v1.9 ?

Thanks.
Best regards,
Jérôme

I just opened a new thread for the Java 8 upgrade...

Thanks.
Best regards,

Hi Jérôme -

I think that we should start a DISCUSS thread on whether a Java 8 only
commitment would make sense as part of 0.10.0.
Since JDK 7 is already end-of-lifed this probably makes sense but we should
consider the rest of the ecosystem as well so that we don't leave anything
behind.

This would also be relevant within a conversation for whether we should
plan a 1.0.0 release and what incompatible changes will need to be done
before hand.

Perhaps, 0.10.0 should actually be 1.0.0 but we will need to address a few
things.

I plan to cut a new rc for 0.9.1 today.

Let's start this DISCUSS thread and JDK research across the ecosystem.

thanks,

--larry
