Excellent. I don't know what needs raising yet, but as I come across I will raise.

Hi Jonah,

I asked on this list a while ago if there is anybody against upgrading dependencies to Java 8 and 4.x as a base platform. There was no response at all. I think it is a good idea to upgrade.
So if you raise dependencies of a project to Java7 or 8 I will not reject the commit.

cheers
Christian

Hi Christian,

Can we consider upgrading BREE to Java 7 or (even better) Java 8. 

This might be a good time to do it because a recentish commit [1] used java nio despite the BREE being JavaSE-1.6 for the project. At the moment the BREE is causing language features of newer Javas to not be used, but does not prevent newer lib features being used as that is determined by the build.

Would you accept a gerrit for Java 8 across the board? If not, Java 7?

Note that the platform for Neon are mostly moving to Java 8 as the BREE, just some places are hanging back (like SWT).

Thanks,
Jonah
