IBM Domino and Java 8

I am developing XPages applications with IBM Domino 9.0.1 FP4 , which uses an obsolete JVM with Java 6 . This limitation often forces me to create Java applications outside of the Domino environment and run them in a secondary updated JVM located on the same machine as the Domino server. This "solution" works, but far from optimal. Therefore, I have two questions:

A) Is it possible to manually update the Domino JVM?

B) If not, is there a simpler solution to use Java 7 or 8 with the current version of Domino?

Personal note. I know that one of the “next” versions of Domino should contain Java 8. However, at least it is not clear to me when this version will happen. I have been waiting for the Domino JVM update for at least 1 or 2 years, and I have ceased to believe that this will happen in the near future ...

You cannot manually update the JVM. If you want to use different versions of Java, you need to use the Crossworlds project. Daniel used it with the Websphere Liberty profile, while I use this approach with vert.x for my ProjectCastle.

You can read about my experience with Domino and vert.x on my blog.

Hope this helps!
