java 8 required from dhis 2.20

Hi,

Java 7 reaches end of life on April 2017 and will not receive free updates beyond that.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

Java 8 also comes with a range of new features we would like to take advantage of.

https://www.techempower.com/blog/2013/03/26/everything-about-java-8/

As a result we will start using Java 8 from DHIS 2.20. (The next release is 2.19). This means that to deploy 2.20 you will have to update the Java SDK on your server to Java 8. Java 8 is already available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.

regards,

Lars

Lars,

I had an issue with java 8.25 and switched back (8.05 was running fine).

Any DHIS2 compatibility issues reported with the latest 8.31?

Regards
Calle

+1 for this… Java 8 has nice language features as well as excellent runtime JVM improvements
DHIS2 community will benefit a lot from this move.
