[jira] [Commented] (MSHADE-393) Upgrade project from Java 7 to 8

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-393?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17350884#comment-17350884 ] 

Michael Osipov commented on MSHADE-393:
---------------------------------------

I'd recommend to release 3.3.0 as-is and then move to Java 8.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-393
>             Project: Maven Shade Plugin
>          Issue Type: Task
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.4
>            Reporter: Alexander Kriegisch
>            Priority: Major

> 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.
