same here, currently i see no incompatibilities. what changes do you propose 
exactly?

preferably with a compatibility layer, eg. two classloaders, one w/ old, one 
new jts. or standin JTS classes in OJ core, that fix incompatibilities on a one 
by one basis.

yeah, no ;). tags are immutable.

we would actually need a branch for this, which i don't like because of the 
management overhead.

let's talk about it some more, before we settle on a decision.

main points for me are
- what possibly breaks w/ new JTS (Mike?)
- are there drawbacks to declare OJ Core java8+ compatible instantly (i see 
none)
