Hi there, I'm not sure if this is worth a PIP in the sense that it's not trying to refactor existing or add new functionality which we might face trade off thus need detailed design and discuss Replacing code snippets with an equivalent from higher version JDK should have no impact from functionality perspective and should be more performant. So the plan will be to create an issue to track the overall progress and break down the task to sub-module level so anyone interested can pick up a module to work with. If no objections I'll create the issue and we can start with setting the Modernizer to check violations based on Java 8, acceptance criteria will be *pass all existing CI tests*.
Best, Marvin,
