title: Spring 3.2.x with Java 8
body: <p>We are currently using spring 3.2.9. We are thinking of upgrading that to a newer version. When I checked the documentation it says that</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Along with 4.0 M1, we’ve released Spring Framework 3.2.3, containing
    fixes for recently reported issues but also coming with OpenJDK 8 runtime
    support. Spring Framework 3.2.x will support deployment on JDK 8 runtimes
    for applications compiled against JDK 7 (with -target 1.7) or earlier.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Does that imply that I can't compile on Java 8?<br>
  Should I use spring version 4.0.x if I wanna compile with Java 8?</p>
