Werner, Java EE 8 target is JDK 8 as we said before. But te goal of this document is not to discuss with Bob and Juergen how they should use JDK 8 within their spec, but to see if are willing to discuss our suggestion. When we’ll find a general agreement it will be useful to go into such details. Antoine Le 8 sept. 2014 à 12:20, Werner Keil <werner.keil(a)gmail.com&gt; a écrit : 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...
