[infinispan-dev] Infinispan Test language level to Java 8?

[Martin Gencur]

Hi,
let me comment on this from QA perspective. We're running ISPN test 
suite with all these JDKs: IBM JDK, OpenJDK, OracleJDK.

Until all these JDKs (version 1.8) are installed in Jenkins, we won't be 
able to run the tests. Think this should happen in the next months but 
no target date is specified (AFAIK).
