All,
Java7 has eol-ed, it's about time to move to Java8 for both codebase and runtime [1]. An experimental PR [2] shows that moving to Java8 is fairly straight forward. The only component that is failing is F5 network plugin, which lacks authors/maintainers as this issue has been previously raised on dev@ [3]. In order to move to JDK8, we'll need to take hard decisions to comment/exclude plugins such as F5 from the default build profiles that may not get fixes and improvements from their authors/maintainers. Thoughts, comments?
