Re: [swtbot-dev] Moving sources to Java 8

[Lorenzo Bettini <lorenzo.bettini@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

IIRC Eclipse Neon will require Java 8, so the switch to Java 8 would make sense.

On the other hand, this will force all SWTBot users to do such switch...

Having said that, I'd be in favor of such switch.

cheers

Lorenzo

Hi,

I'd like to propose to move the SWTBot code to Java 8. I just committed a test case that used lambdas which required Java 8 instead of 7. Using Java 8 for the one project caused the build to fail, though.

Do you see any issues that a move to Java 8 would cause that outweighs the benefit of using the current version of Java?

(To decouple the move to Java 8 from my commit, I changed it to use Runnable's instead of lambdas.)
