Re: [paho-dev] Paho java client jdk version

[Ian Craggs <icraggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You should be able to use the current Jva client with JDK 1.6 or above.   Of course, if we use JDK 1.8 features, that would rule out using the client with previous JDKs - and we're not ready for that just yet.  I am told that Android uses a Java level based on 1.6, and as the current client works on Android, that would be a reason for not moving beyond 1.6.

As Andy says, a client which uses Java features from more recent version of Java has been mooted, but there are no firm plans to develop it yet.

Hi Matt

This has been discussed. There's a (mostly blank...) wiki page https://wiki.eclipse.org/Paho/Java_8_client and this was also brought up on the Paho dev mailing list https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/paho-dev/msg01204.html, we would welcome your thoughts. I'm cc'ing this to the Mailing List so you can jump right in if you like.

It likely will not be part of the 1.0 release with Eclipse Luna but we do not believe there are issues with the current 1.6 version under JDK 1.8.

Hi Andy,
I had cloned the latest paho java client project with git. Took a look into pom files and saw 1.6 source settings. Are there any plans to upgrade jdk to 1.8 ?
