To drop or not to drop JDK 7 support for Weld 2.4?
by Matej Novotny
Hello everyone,
as you probably know, Weld 2.4 (CDI 1.2 impl) currently supports even JDK 7.
We are currently considering dropping this limitation and moving to JDK 8 as minimal version.
>From what we know, some servers (such as WildFly) already require Java 8 to even boot up so this limitation is pretty much pointless there.
Therefore, please let us know if dropping JDK 7 support presents a problem for you or if you see any other reason for Weld 2.4 to stay JDK 7 compatible.
