Make java 8 as a minimum version

Open javadev opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Java 8 was released in March 2014 - 7 years ago.

It's time to make it as a minimum java version.

I think it's not necessary. Code compiles fine with Java 6+, it doesn't need any Java 8 dependencies, so why? Btw, Kotlin compiler can still target 1.6

We can setup target for kotlin.

For kotlin 1.5 java 8 is default target.

@javadev switching to Java 8 may cause some problems on Android API < 24. A small analysis is needed. UPD: Lambdas and even default methods work fine. As long as we don't use Java 8 classes, everything should be fine.

I use this library on Android, which gives me Stream compatibility on devices below API 24. I think this is fine, if the target version is set to 8, why not just use the STREAM API of JDK8?
