Conversation
Compiles with Java 11, with target set to 8 for compatibility

@shaundmorris Doesn't look like that is going to work (see CI build failure). What is the problem you're trying to solve with this? |

@bradh I was trying to figure out a way to have both java 8 and 11 build and run compatibility at the same time. Was experimenting with it. |
|
I thought we agreed there was no need for JDK 8 any more? Do we need to revisit that? |
|
This was an experiment to see if there is an easy way to support both on the same branch. I like the idea of moving master forward with Java 11. Previous branches can still rely on 8. So I would like to release master again with 11 support if you are okay with that @bradh |
|
@shaundmorris No problem with a release. |
|
@shaundmorris What is the status on this PR? Are we moving forward with java 11 only? |
DO NOT MERGE
