Java 8 in a JEE Environment

[Michael Nascimento]

I have suggested something along these lines before:

http://markmail.org/message/rgmfphvk32gz6p6u#query:+page:1+mid:3e2zqh32ogrbdzjr+state:results

The most relevant part of Brian's response was:

"We're working with the EE folks to figure out what our options are.
The right answer may well be to fall back to sequential in some
cases."

I still think not providing first class support for Java EE is going
to cause a lot of damage in the wild.

Regards,
Michael
