    Looks like Java 8 is here.

    "The Java Platform, Standard Edition 8 (Java SE 8) is a major feature release. It contains new features and enhancements in many functional areas. Java SE 8 delivers enhanced developer productivity and significant application performance increases through reduced boilerplate code, improved collections and annotations, simpler parallel programming models and more efficient use of modern, multi-core processors".

    We've long advocated dumping java.   I don't have it on any of my systems, nor do I miss it.

    For those who have, and really need/use it, I guess that means it's time for the "major" update.
