[ome-users] OMERO.insight with java >8

[Kai Schleicher]

Hi Mark,

thanks for your reply!

we hope to be on 5.4 soon and keep the fingers crossed for the higher 
java versions!

So far as we can control the clients in the house we will try to stay 
with java 8 until there is a more general solution.

Cheers,
Kai
