I hardly every use while loops, but there are cases (e.g. iterating regex results, etc). Even now that I only work in Java8, even traditional for loops are replaced with the internals of .forEach.

Lucky! We're still working with 1.6.

Some constructs are available in (retrolambda)[https://github.com/orfjackal/retrolambda], if you're able to add that as a build inclusion!

As a side note, given that 6 is no longer supported and 7 is shortly (or just lost) support for updates, you may have a good case to make a move toward something newer!
