Description Manoj N Palat CLA 2016-02-23 04:19:16 EST
An early move to 1.8 would help to use the java 8 constructs during implementation. Let us discuss on this bug if there are issues for moving to 1.8.

As mentioned in today's call, we must not make changes in the beta branch that aren't related to Java 9, i.e. changes between master and beta should be kept minimal.
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2016-02-23 12:25:30 EST
Removing target milestone BETA_JAVA9. This is for master branch, or for later.
