Michael Osipov commented on MSHADE-393:
---------------------------------------
I'd recommend to release 3.3.0 as-is and then move to Java 8.
> Upgrade project from Java 7 to 8
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: MSHADE-393
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-393
> Project: Maven Shade Plugin
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 3.2.4
> Reporter: Alexander Kriegisch
> Priority: Major
>
> If there is no specific reason forcing us to stay on Java source and target
> level 7, I suggest upgrading to Java 8. When working on pull requests, it
> felt quite uncomfortable not being able to use streams, interface default
> methods, lambdas.
> Is there a huge user base using Java 7 and still relying on Maven Shade
> upgrades? I.e. they want the latest features and bugfixes, but are unable to
> migrate to Java 8. That would be quite a sense of entitlement on their part.
