Re: [jgit-dev] [egit-dev] [RFC] releases until Mars (June 2015)

[Andrey Loskutov <loskutov@xxxxxx>]

+1 for Java 7 in 4.0. 
-1 for Java 8 in 4.0. I'm not sure the adoption rate on client side is fast enough. 

If we go Java 7 in 4.0, does it mean we will merge optional 7 fragments with the core plugin? 
Regards, 
Andrey
