Vert.x and Java 8

[Frank Reiter]

With the release of java 8 just a few weeks away, I am wondering what the probably timetable is for java 8 support in vert.x.  Has there been any testing with the pre-release versions?

I'm looking forward to lambdas for callbacks!

Frank.

As I understand it lambdas for handler callbacks might well work out of the box. What I'm not sure of is whether anyone has actually done much work with vert.x in Java 8 (ie whether any significant testing has been done). Have you tried it out?

Tim created a nashorn mod using 8:

I'm still coming up the learning curve and minimizing variables, so no. :)

Vert.x both builds and runs fine with Java8 - Lambas should "just work"

Best possible answer.   Thanks Tim. :)

Just tested this on 1.8-b129 on OS X Mavericks. So far so good =)

I have been using vert.x with JDK8 EA b123 for a few months on Ubuntu OS (PC) and Raspbery PI (Raspbian). No problems.

I cannot image now using vertx without lambda expressions :).

Cool... Thanks for letting us know :)

Lambda coercion breaks when using VoidHandler as it has 2 methods. Might need to turn that into a abstract class, or may it might work with a interface default method (but vertx will need to be compiled in 1.8 in that case).

Or just not use it :)

Oh yeh that too.
