Re: [jetty-users] 9.3.0 RC1 introduces dependency on Java 8?

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'll be staging the 9.3.0 release on monday and we'll do some testing
and plan is to release next week.  So testing out RC1 is absolutely a
wonderful thing to do :)

The distribution is available in maven central:

https://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.eclipse.jetty%7Cjetty-distribution%7C9.3.0.RC1%7Cpom

cheers,
Jesse
