Java 8 has been around for 10 years now and I think it is reasonable to drop support for earlier versions. With Java 8, we can simplify some code by using lambdas and method references. We can also support serializing and deserializing types like
Optional
andInstant
. And we can adddefault
andstatic
methods to interfaces in the API.We already have the java8 label for issues that can be solved once Java 8 is required. This issue just tracks making that happen.
