Minimum java level for specs

[Arthur De Magalhaes]

Hey everyone,

Does each MicroProfile spec declare their own minimum java level, or is there a global level across 1.x specs?   The reason I am asking is because we want to use the java.lang.annotation.Repeatable annotation, which is only available in Java 8.

Apologizes if this is documented somewhere already (couldn't find it).

Thx,

Arthur

Fault Tolerance requires Java 8, so I think go for it.

Yes, Alasdair was right. Require Java8 as a minimum so that the nice Java8 features can be used. All MP 1.2 features require Java 8. The API bundles have

Require-Capability: osgi.ee;filter:="(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=1.8))"

Sounds good!    Thanks for the feedback Alasdair/Emily.
