    Description

      If there is no specific reason forcing us to stay on Java source and target level 7, I suggest upgrading to Java 8. When working on pull requests, it felt quite uncomfortable not being able to use streams, interface default methods, lambdas.

      Is there a huge user base using Java 7 and still relying on Maven Shade upgrades? I.e. they want the latest features and bugfixes, but are unable to migrate to Java 8. That would be quite a sense of entitlement on their part.
