[slf4j-dev] JDK 1.8 support

30 Nov 2014

      HI,

I added JDK 1.8  module for slf4j the purpose is to enable :

Call by name (or lazy evaluation) will be accessible using Supplier of
String.

The example below :

 logger.trace(()  -> "trace msg "+echo()) ;

note that echo method and String concatenation will only be evaluation if
trace level is enabled.

I also initiated the pull request : https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/pull/70

Tests are passing on Travis CI.

BR.
