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

Alexander Kriegisch created MSHADE-393:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Upgrade project from Java 7 to 8
                 Key: MSHADE-393
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-393
             Project: Maven Shade Plugin
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: 3.2.4
            Reporter: Alexander Kriegisch


If there is no specific reason forcing use 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.
