It’s time to move to JDK 1.8

Early morning, I got this error

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1:compile (default-compile) on project center-core: Compilation failure
[ERROR] Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error:

Yeah, it’s time to move to JDK 1.8.

Let’s install JDK 1.8 now, there are a lot of feature for developer in this version, you can read here:

And if you are using Tomcat, you have also need to move to Tomcat 8.

Have you been experienced with this new JDK yet?
