[jira] [Updated] (MSHADE-393) Upgrade project from Java 7 to 8
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-393?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Alexander Kriegisch updated MSHADE-393:
---------------------------------------
Description:
If there is no specific reason forcing us to stay on Java source and target level 7, I suggest upgrading to Java 8. When working on pull requests, it felt quite uncomfortable not being able to use streams, interface default methods, lambdas.
Is there a huge user base using Java 7 and still relying on Maven Shade upgrades? I.e. they want the latest features and bugfixes, but are unable to migrate to Java 8. That would be quite a sense of entitlement on their part.
