Antoine/all,

Thanks for sharing. I also had a discussion (in his own Spring blog) with Jürgen mainly about modularity, and the JDK minimum requirements for Spring 4.x. He confirmed, the "core" components of Spring 4.1 still run under as low as Java 6, while some modules that can be dynamically (Spring-DM aka OSGi;-) added may directly refer to Java 8, in which case you must run SE 8 or higher.

So while for Java 6/7 or below version of @Inject.next this:

public interface Provider<T> extends Iterable<T> {

 /**
   * Provides a fully-constructed and injected instance of {@code T}.
   */
  T get();
[...]

looks fine, it seemed more than consequent, if you  did

public interface Provider<T> extends Iterable<T>, Supplier<T> {
[...]

in a Java 8+ case;-)

Even without looking at Lambdas here in greater detail, it reused what Java SE 8 introduced.

Again, that is something you, Bob, Jürgen and maybe the EE 8 Spec Leads should discuss, what the reasonable minimum requirements for  @Inject.next are, if it's SE 8 or a lower version, though those of course may always stick with the previous ones...

Hi all,


I received an answer from Bob Lee (off list). He likes te idea of us providing a proposal document. So I worked on it this WE.
Here it is : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KCzqodA8uzXED5DJrEUyl0x3dOUB5mBwL4KcV8xUY_w/edit?usp=sharing <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KCzqodA8uzXED5DJrEUyl0x3dOUB5mBwL4KcV8xUY_w/edit?usp=sharing>

Your comments and proposal are most welcome. I propose we discuss this point during our next meeting, and if we agree on the final content send it asap to have Bob and Juergen feeling about these suggestion.


Antoine
