=== Java 8 (as well as 6 and 7)
Spring Framework 4.0 provides support for several Java 8 features. You can make use of
__lambda expressions__ and __method references__ with Spring's callback interfaces. There
is first class support for `java.time` (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=310[JSR-310]), and
several existing annotations have been retrofitted as `@Repeatable`. You can also use
Java 8's parameter name discovery as an alternative to compiling your code with debug
information enabled.

Spring remains compatible with older versions of Java and the JDK: concretely, Java SE 6
(specifically, a minimum level equivalent to JDK 6 update 10, as released in late 2008)
(specifically, a minimum level equivalent to JDK 6 update 18, as released in January 2010)
and above are still fully supported. However, for newly started development projects
based on Spring 4, we recommend the use of Java 7 or 8.
