thinkingof it why not? There are indeed many versions (up to and including 42) of pgjdbc which work for Java6, are
fullyfeatured, and mature. While they are developed for a platform EOLed for several years. Does it make real sense to
continuedeveloping new versions with this platform in mind? Are there very strong reasons to remain Java6-compatible
forfuture versions?
One random $USER's opinion, Java 7 is already EOL. Why do we even talk about 6 anymore?
If better or less code can be written, or reliability improved, by moving to Java 8 - do it! We should live in the
future,not the past :)
