[Geoserver-devel] Java 8 is out! Hem... shall we start using java 7? ; -)

+1

Actually it does not feel so important for me what is the minimum version but development and testing should be done with java 7 if that is not the case already. We have ISO/IEC27001:2005 certificate which means that we must have java 7 in production. But I have also seen from the mailing lists that there are people who are afraid because it is possible to run Geoserver and deegree with java 6.

Hi,

given that java 6 has been out of support for a while now, and java 8 is out,

how do people feel about upping our minimal java requirement to java 7

on the master branches of GeoTools and GeoServer?

Pro/cons, issues you see?

Cheers
