I don't want to spur a heavy debate on Java6 vs Java8, and maybe that should go on a separate thread, but... thinking of it why not? There are indeed many versions (up to and including 42) of pgjdbc which work for Java6, are fully featured, and mature. While they are developed for a platform EOLed for several years. Does it make real sense to continue developing new versions with this platform in mind? Are there very strong reasons to remain Java6-compatible for future versions?
One random $USER's opinion, Java 7 is already EOL. Why do we even talk about 6 anymore?
If better or less code can be written, or reliability improved, by moving to Java 8 - do it! We should live in the future, not the past :)
Well we have to keep in mind that SCRAM is essentially an enterprise feature, and like it or not there are lots of enterprises running on java 6
