Re: [weld-dev] To drop or not to drop JDK 7 support for Weld 2.4?

Hi Matej, My vote is "not to drop JDK 7 support", as Java EE7 requires the minimum Java version being 7. If you remove the JDK7 support, this will have big impact to the customer who are currently use JDK7. Weld 3.x requires JDK 8, which is understandable.

Sent by: weld-dev-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org Valid point, it would definitely make sense to raise minor version in this case. We are unsure if we will actually remove jdk 7 sipport, but at this point any request for backport or any attempt at support for newer java versions presents a considerable pain because of JDK 7 support. Therefore I concluded I will ask on this mail and see if it would be ok to eventually remove the support.
