I’m doing testing on how GeoServer runs on Java 8 (Although compiled with Java 7). As yet I’m not seeing any issues, including when I run the unit tests for the release profile. I’ll be throwing some automated stress tests at it today.
There’s no particular reason to expect this to be problematic but I’d like to confirm so does anyone have any experience running in Java 8, be it an interesting a failure or a boring success? Especially if it was in production or involved any attempt to do thorough testing.
I know the topic of running on Java 8 has come up before I expect we won’t fully lay it to rest until we can build reliably under Java 8, but I would like to get something a bit more solid than “it should work” or “it seems to work”.

Boring Success here
I’ve been running java 8 since 2.6 on my live windows server 8 r2 – my server guys don’t like me using old java software
No issues
I am running 2.7.0 at the moment

Thanks,
None of my stress tests managed to break things either. So boring successes all around.
