Move to Java 8 as minimum
Ladicek opened this issue · comments
Why not Java 11 as a minimum already?
There are Jandex consumers that are still on 8. Plus, we can stay on 8 (heck, we could stay on 6, but let's not) and support latest Java bytecode just fine. Jandex 2.4.0.Final will support records, for example :-)
This was done together with #122 on the smallrye
branch, no need to leave this open.
EDIT: to be precise, this is implied by inheriting from the SmallRye parent POM.
