Re: [hibernate-dev] Hibernate ORM and Java 8 usage

@Vlad, what Java 8 syntax specifically are you using in the user guide tests (examples?)? I like the idea of using a current syntax in usage examples, to give the guide a current look and show that our APIs play well with current Java versions (while staying compatible with older ones). 2016-01-12 10:51 GMT+01:00 Sanne Grinovero <sanne(a)hibernate.org&gt;: > +1 for Vlad's proposal to use the same JDK for tests and main code in > a given module. > > Infinispan requires Java8 at runtime too, so that module should be the > only one to use Java8? > > On 12 January 2016 at 07:55, Vlad Mihalcea <mihalcea.vlad(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >> 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. >> >> Vlad >> >> On Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 11:35 PM, Steve Ebersole <steve(a)hibernate.org&gt; >> wrote: >> >>> The former.
