Hi Vlad, thanks for bringing that up: I mean to start a thread here among the lines of my answers on twitter. The problem I see in our little survey is that in the way it was phrased it's not providing useful data for the purpose of understanding what we should be supporting in the next version of

Although Java 1.8 has seen a great adoption rate, on the enterprise side things always move very slowly. https://twitter.com/Hibernate/status/700998618824753152 Anyway, we shouldn't be stuck with 1.6 just because some legacy systems might not never migrate to a newer version. Other frameworks ar

Btw., when does ORM plan to drop pre-8 support altogether? 6.0? Radim On 03/01/2016 10:18 PM, Steve Ebersole wrote: > Correct. hibernate-infinispan can use Java 8. As Sanne says, Infinispan > itself requires Java 8 so limiting hibernate-infinispan to > 8 really makes > no sense, > > On Tue, Mar
