Re: [ecf-dev] a completable future for OSGi remote services

[Wim Jongman <wim.jongman@xxxxxxxxx>]

If we are targeting embedded devices then I can understand some restriction to the runtime platform, otherwise let's just move on.

If people want to run old java versions then we have perfectly fine compatible ECF releases that match these VM's.

+1 for moving to Java8.

Cheers,

Wim

Hi,

the usage of CompletableFutures for ECF's async proxies is indeed tempting.
To ease the migration though, is there maybe a standalone lib of CF
(obviously without labmdas) for < Java8 (similar to concurrent backports
when Java5 came out)? With it, we don't necessarily have to drag in a
Java8 dependency at our API level. OTOH we could also provide two
versions of our remote service distribution provider (one for Java8 and
another for < Java8).
