There are only two changes I am aware of for JDK8 preparation so far, and they are simply to allow Clojure to compile without warnings [1] and pass all of the unit tests without failure when using JDK8 [2]. These are minor changes.
[1] http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1264 [2] http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1246 [2] was really an existing issue before JDK8 -- it is simply that a change in the annotations of the Java class library caused the problem to be exposed with the existing unit tests when run on JDK 8.
