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.
Regards
Matej

Seems weird to me that you would drop JDK support in a patch fix on 2.4.x.
Seems more appropriate to keep 2.4.x on JDK 7, 2.5.x (if you ever create
it) on JDK 8. 3.0.x already requires JDK 8.

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.

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.
Many thanks,
Emily

From a Java EE point of view, the Java EE 7 specification requires at
least Java SE 7.
I wouldn't put much trust into a blogpost.
Anyhow the article basically encourages you to use JDK 8 features with EE7.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/documentation/javaee7sdk-in...
Installing the Software
Requirements
Java EE 7 SDK distributions require JDK 7 Update 65 and above or JDK 8
Update 20 and above.
Java EE 7 SDK != Java EE impl. Besides it says you can use 7 or 8 and recommends latest
JDK release anyway.
I was expecting these limitations to be present in EE umbrella spec or something like that
(imposing minimal version on implementations) but found none so far.
Many thanks,

I have not found anywhere to suggest JDK 7 should not work with Java EE7.
If you feel the links cannot be trusted, please reach out to the spec lead
of Java EE7 for confirmation.

2.4?
From a Java EE point of view, the Java EE 7 specification requires
at
least Java SE 7.
I wouldn't put much trust into a blogpost.
Anyhow the article basically encourages you to use JDK 8 features with
EE7.
Installing the Software
Requirements
Java EE 7 SDK distributions require JDK 7 Update 65 and above or JDK 8
Update 20 and above.
Java EE 7 SDK != Java EE impl. Besides it says you can use 7 or 8 and
recommends latest JDK release anyway.
I was expecting these limitations to be present in EE umbrella spec or
something like that (imposing minimal version on implementations) but
found none so far.
