Fwd: Re: [jetty-users] 9.3.0 RC1 introduces dependency on Java 8?

["Ramkumar R. Aiyengar" <an...@gmail.com>]

FYI.. We had considered moving to Jetty 9.3 in Solr for a few features
(HTTP/2), looks like that would force us to use Java 8.

May be a step closer to us thinking of a cutover ourselves..

David,

Yes, this is the intention for Jetty 9.3.x moving forward.  We had
been operating under the assumption we would support Java 7 but after
looking at what is going on in the SSL areas of the jdk with new
features like SNI, HTTP/2 becoming a standard and requiring Java 8,
and things like we decided to pull that trigger now.  This decision
was also somewhat validated in that most all of our professional
support clients had themselves already switched to Java 8 because of
security issues alone making the decision easier for us.  We will
continue releasing Jetty 9.2.x iterations should the need arise to
keep Java 7 jetty users up to speed, but the adoption of Java 8 over 7
has been dramatically different than 7 over 6...much much faster.

We should have a blog out explaining more of these details sometime soon.

cheers,
Jesse

I was about to propose a move to Java 8 for 5.3 myself.
