[Ikvm-developers] Java 8

[Neil C. <nei...@ho...>]

Jeroen first off I'd like to add to the thanks for all your good working building IKVM. We have been using it for years very successfully (migrated the POI Excel library to c#). Amazing work really.
My question is around support for Java 8. With Java 8 around the corner, we are internally wanting to start building some Java code in 8 because of the improved date libraries among others but have the code fully usable in c#. Looks like if you are updating ikvm, you may want to wait for release before you do this? Perhaps its a lot of work merging your changes into the OpenJDK 8?If you could let us know your plans and timeline around this it would be appreciated?
thanksNeil
