The developers just tell me there are some nice features we could use on the
UTD Java library and BrailleBlaster will depend on that soon. Java 6 is really
getting old and Java 7 is near it’s EOL status. We’ve been living with Java 6
in BrailleBlaster but have had to make some compromises to stay with it.
So, I don’t know what might be considered compelling but there have been
improvements in the last four years both in terms of performance and features.

Hmmm, not sure. Several of us are already building Bb using the Java 8 JDK
though so it should work.

Keith,
I updated to the 64-bit version of Java 1.8.0_40 and can’t get BB to compile
using Ant. Here is what I get:
c:\BrailleBlaster>ant
Buildfile: c:\BrailleBlaster\build.xml
init:
compile:
BUILD FAILED
c:\BrailleBlaster\build.xml:25: Class not found: javac1.8
Total time: 0 seconds
c:\BrailleBlaster>
Best regards from Ohio,
Vic
