How can I detect static analysis if a project uses Java8?

Question

I am currently using javaparser ( https://github.com/javaparser/javaparser ) and javasymbolsolver ( https://github.com/javaparser/javasymbolsolver ) to parse the code. Will this be a holistic approach if I discover the use of Collections # Streams to decide that a particular project has migrated to Java8. (Assuming Collection # Streams is the most widely used java8 function).

Answer 1

I see several approaches here, both source and binary, looking for the Java 8 API and looking for Java 8 features.

Look for Java 8 APIs

Look for regular Java 8 APIs in source code (simple)

You can parse the code and look for the APIs first introduced in Java 8 - as you suggested in your answer. The most common features of the Java 8 API are threads and a class Optional, as well as a package java.util.function. I would expect almost any project that switched to Java 8 to use these features.

Look for all Java 8 APIs in source code (advanced)
