Comment (by iwakeh):

 Replying to [comment:3 karsten]:
 > Agreed, let's switch to OpenJDK 8.  How about we do that in the course
 of the 2.0.0 release?
 Great!

 >  (See my related question regarding the timing on #18746.)
 I replied there.

 > Regarding the benchmarking code, where should I put that?  In the `src/`
 or `test/` directory or somewhere else?  Which package?  For example, it
 shouldn't be part of the Javadocs, I guess.  And should we move this
 discussion to a separate ticket, because you'll probably want to review
 the code before it goes in?

 I replied in ticket #19051 which ought to be part of 1.2.0 as it does not
 need java8 as prerequisite.
