Java 8 - lambda expressions
Is it planned to get the code base to support Java 8 natively? We were doing some testing and we noticed that while we are running on JDK 1.8, we are not allowed to use lambda expressions.
Currently we are on Pega 7.3.1, however I understand that as of Pega8, Java <1.7 will no longer be certified.
When saving an activity with such an example, the following error pops up:
The method forEach ((<no type>it)->{} is undefined for the type Iterator
Lambda expressions are allowed only at source level 1.8 or above
Compile failed

Hi,
Java 8 is supported java version for Pega 8. Lambda expressions are supported in Java 8.
Can you please elaborate the problem you are facing ?

I'm also facing the same error for the below java expression:
Arrays.stream(baseCSV.split(",")).forEach(e -> baseList.add(e));
We are on JDK 8.
Any assistance would be greatly helpful
