Re: [Windup-users] Are you ready for Java 8? Windup about to move

We pushed a release candidate for 2.5.0 today but it will be a few weeks until it is GA. The 2.6.0 release will be about a month behind that. I think we should plan on giving a little bit longer window before we drop Java 7 support, but if we could drop it in the next 3-6 months without causing anyone problems that would be nice.
