                Example of how to use both JDK 7 and JDK 8 in one build. 
              
          
JDK 8 Released


Most of us won’t be able to use/deploy JDK 8 in production for a looong time. But that shouldn’t stop us from using it, right?


It should be possible to sneak in JDK 8 in the back way, the same way we snuck in Groovy and other libraries we wanted to use.


The Test Suite to the rescue


The Maven compiler plugin run in two separate lifecycles, compile and testCompile. Those can be configured separately.
