Switch to java 8 ---------------- Key: TEIID-4675 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-4675 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Build/Kits Affects Versions: 9.2 Reporter: Kylin Soong Assignee: Steven Hawkins Java 9 will be release in March 2017, also most of upstream jboss project are use java 8 at the moment, but teiid still use java 7 as default maven compile target, so I wonder it's time for us to switch to 1.8
