[LANG] Minimum required Java version for 3.9
Hi,
any objections against raising the minimum required Java version for lang
3.9 to Java 1.8?
Regards,

I understand, thanks for explanation.

We had the convention that Java version changes are okay, as long as the
code is binary compatible. Before we go 4.0, I'd like to see what oracle is
doing with the new release train where they release Java every few month.
I'm not sure what this means for us...

Wouldn't 4.0 express better the change for the minimum required Java version?

I think that's fine as long as consequences are understood and accepted.
For example, back in Java 5, the new for each loop can introduce the
creation and use of an iterator over a collection/array, which creates
garbage that was not there before.

We've had extremely bad experience with commits that switched to new
language features all over the code base. They created extremely big
commits that have been very hard to review - and introduced subtle
diferences that resulted in multiple regressions.
I'd strongly recommend to only change code you are touching anyway.
If you really feel like doing changes accross the code base please make
sure you do so in commits that are of a reasonable size and can be
reviewed easily.

Yes we should use the new features available to improve implementation of
our code base. I'm not a friend of automatic migration. I think it's better
do this by hand. Otherwise you might have undesired results.

Apologies if this was discussed in the past (and if so, please point
me at the discussion).
As the various commons libraries switch to Java 8 minimum what do
people thinking of mechanical migrations to use new languages
features. For example making of use of method references, stream API,
etc. Is this something we should only do when we're touching the
relevant code, or are wider migrations reasonable?

I'd like to add some helpers for working with java.util.Optional for
example. There are most certainly more opportunities for new Lang APIs once
we have access to the functional interfaces in java.util.function.
java.lang.Objects and java.lang.Arrays also got some new methods in 1.8
which make methods from ObjectUtils and ArrayUtils obsolete.
I also hope that we can deprecate parts of the time package because in Java
1.8 there is the new date and time API.

Do you have specific new features or deprecations in mind to accompany the
bump?
