>However, today Java is at an inflection point. Customers are facing end of lifecycle and support uncertainty (such as the upcoming end of Java 8 community support and the challenging prospect of migrating countless applications to newer but substantially different versions of Java).
I'm unaware of cases where Java 8 sources will not compile on newer JVMs.

- exabrial 2y agoI think you're correct: Compile shouldn't be an issue, it's usually things from the standard JDK being removed. A recent example is JAXB classes/APIs being removed from SDK into their own lib jars. If the legacy system uses some arcane build system I could see this being an issue.
