jclouds 2.x and java7

[Andrea Turli <an...@cloudsoftcorp.com>]

Hi,

I'd like to share a concern here about one of our dependency. As far as I
can tell jclouds 2.0.x is going to support only java7: what kind of impacts
do you see for Brooklyn, when we'll need to adopt jclouds 2.x ?

Best,
Andrea

To clarify, we already "support Java 7".

I believe it is fine to drop support for Java 6 in the same time frame 
as jclouds (i.e. early 2015). I've checked this with some enterprise 
customers, and they are fine with it. If any other customers feel 
strongly that Java 6 support is important then please shout out!

p.s. to-date, this is a much bigger issue for jclouds because that is 
used as a library in other people's code; brooklyn has so-far been used 
predominantly as a stand-alone process, even though one can also use it 
as a library.

Andrea, Hi.

I think we should also support Java 7, most of the time I'm building
Brooklyn using it and there are no issues. Additionally, it would be
nice to use some of the new features from 7, although lambda's would
be even better ;)

Andrew.
