The last client I worked for switched from Java 6 to Java 7 about a year ago, and they really like the new features of Java 8, but they won't switch to Java 8 yet because that would require all the users of their product to switch to Java 8 (they sell different Java-based products), and they don't want to force their users to switch to Java 8.

In the last few months of last year switched all our projects using Java 7 (instead of Java 6). So this year the new Java features will be introduced in our projects.

We switched our projects from Java 6 to Java 7 about two years ago. When opportunity arises we will jump to Java 8.

Today I was updating my JREs (as my computer likes to do on a regular basis) and the installation process said "Hey, you got some outdated Java versions there. You want that I uninstall them, then?" So I clicked on OK and it uninstalled my Java 7 version 55 installation, and as far as I can see I only have a Java 8 JRE on my computer now. Bye bye, Java 7!

There's an announcement about it here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/autoupdatejre7tojre8-2389085.html and Java 7 public updates from Oracle will be ending in a few months from now.
