Java 8
« on: March 27, 2014, 05:57:30 am »
Hello,

Now that Oracle has launched Java 8 upon the world, any ideas if, or when EA will support it?  Will EA 11?

Regards,

Just had a quick look at changes in Java 8. There doesn't appear to be much that we need to worry about. If lambda's only appear inside code blocks then there's a good chance EA will already be able to parse the code.

But there's no chance that anyone here will even get a chance to look at it properly before EA 11 is released.
