Hi.
As a related topic, I don't think travis-ci still supports openjdk6 in year
2020.
travis-ci does HAVE a tutorial about how to add openjdk6 at:
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/reference/trusty/
BUT it is totally wrong.
I followed that tutorial but it failed.

Drop Java 6, use Java 8 from my POV. It will make builds simpler for all,
on top of not requiring folks of installing Java 6 to make sure the tests
pass on that platform.
Use try with resources to clean up the code eventhough Java 7 would be
enough strictly speaking.

Java 6 was released in December 2006, making it 13½ years old. That's
over 94 in computer years! (Laugh if you want but computer technology
goes out of date so quickly that I find treating it like dogs in this
regard to be a useful metric.) Oracle stopped supporting it in 2017,
meaning that since t
Make Java 8 the platform minimum IMO.

Does the code use JDK8 features?

If "old" is a b
Quick poll before attempting to release JEXL 3.1;
Should we still release with support for Java 6 or should we move ahead with
at least Java 8 ?
Seems to me Java 6 is old enough to be dropped.
One could still build from source with java 6 if needed.
What do you think ?
