Re: [hibernate-dev] Hibernate ORM and Java 8 usage
I used Java 8 syntax in the User Guide tests as I remembered that tests can
use it, but I also agree that this is a rather strange move.
Since we need to support Java 1.6, maybe it's a better idea to use the
latest JDK just in the modules where we have no other choice.
For testing, I think that 1.6 is just fine and I could easily change those
tests to remove the 1.8 dependency.
So I vote for using the same JDK for both main and test in a particular
module.

The former. People commit things that already assume the move to
Java 8
locally to build (and test). But at the moment we have not formalized
that, and so that causes problems when we import into an IDE - the imported
IDE project is built for 1.6 compliance and so everything we try in the IDE
fails.
