Trully said I did not see any VOTE for Java 1.8 in the mailing list. AFAIK we
developers did vote for Java 1.7 and we have the reason to use Java 1.7 as new
Java Files API.
Has Java 1.8 any advantages in security? Don't mean JDK.
For me it does not really matter if the javac target is increased to 1.8 or
not, but I am missing th Vote.
What is worse for me is the fact that our Maven developers stil opose to
rewrite the code to use java 1.8 features even if it is so simple with
{{modernizer-maven-plugin}}. Without changing the code we still will have old
fasion code. The Lambda can produce brief code. Of course there are
disadvantages, e.g. certain Streams have performance penalties. Now the
requirement of J8 looks to me like business order unless we adapt the code.
