No, it doesn't.
We already have support for building JDBC3 drivers against JDK5, and
JDBC4 against JDK6, as well as 4.1 against JDK7.
Adding JDK8 only method overloads, etc, would not be a significant
issue. However, I'd want to do that as part of a JDBC spec revision, so
that PgJDBC behaves consistently with other JDBC drivers on JDK8.
Have you, Vernon, done any checking to see whether JDK8 incorporates the
features you want in a JDBC spec update?
