[jira] [Comment Edited] (OAK-9294) Document that Java 8 is needed
for Oak 1.4 and 1.6 in the future
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9294?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17280935#comment-17280935 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------
Sure. There are two items:
* I don't think it's needed right now (allow use of Java 8 features), because I'm not aware of a problem it would fix.
* If we allow Java 8 features, then somebody might actually use them. (This by itself isn't a problem.) And if then later somebody wants to create a maintenance release (e.g. for yet another security issue), where Solr is _not_ needed, but for Java 7 (e.g. create a fork), then that would be more complicated.
