16:07 aditsu so, now that java 11 is out and java 7 has been dead for a couple of years, is it time to set java 8 as a minimum version for all my code?
16:08 aditsu huh, java.com still gives me version 8 for Linux
16:15 pdurbin aditsu: you should read https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/09/24/the-future-of-java-and-openjdk-updates-without-oracle-support/
16:17 aditsu pdurbin: I don't really see how that addresses my question
17:01 nanoz joined ##friendlyjava
17:41 pdurbin ok
18:14 pdurbin aditsu: are you thinking about depeche? Other projects?
18:15 aditsu all my projects
18:15 pdurbin ok
18:16 pdurbin When a version of Java goes EOL, we tend to bump the version to the next one that isn't EOL.
18:16 pdurbin So in January I assume we'll start requiring Java 11.

19:03 aditsu so I guess that's a "yes" then
19:25 pdurbin Well, I'm just saying what we do. You could take pride in having your software work on Java 7 or 6 or even older.
19:26 pdurbin The reason I linked to the article above is that there are people out there fixing bugs in old versions of Java that are officially EOL. Good news for mr_lou :)
19:26 aditsu I suppose I could... but I don't see what's the point; also, lambdas are da bomb
19:26 pdurbin yeah
19:37 aditsu I made this: https://i.imgflip.com/2ln8ym.jpg :)
19:37 pdurbin :)
