Message-ID: Hi CAT's, We are considering requiring running Java 8 for JBoss Tools 4.3 and Developer Studio 9.0. We will still support running applications and servers with any previous Java version, but for running the actual plugins we are considering moving to Java 8. Is this requirement something that would prevent you from being able to update/upgrade to this upcoming release ? Thanks for any feedback, /max http://about.me/maxandersen From jtyrrell at redhat.com Fri May 22 22:21:53 2015 From: jtyrrell at redhat.com (Jim Tyrrell) Date: Fri, 22 May 2015 22:21:53 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [jbosstools-cat] Requiring Java 8 - is that a problem or not ?

This is way more than we had when looking at moving to Java 7 from Java 6 and rejected it.
