Review comment:
> After checking the
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html
website here, this would lead to some problems for users using Java7. Here is
what I have tried locally (with my JDK 1.8):
>
> ```
> 8c85904324fa:incubator-mxnet qingla$ javac -source 1.9
> javac: invalid source release: 1.9
> Usage: javac <options> <source files>
> use -help for a list of possible options
> 8c85904324fa:incubator-mxnet qingla$ javac -source 1.8
> javac: no source files
> Usage: javac <options> <source files>
> use -help for a list of possible options
> 8c85904324fa:incubator-mxnet qingla$ javac -source 1.7
> javac: no source files
> Usage: javac <options> <source files>
> use -help for a list of possible options

> Since we have not decided to fully abandon 1.7 users, this change may risk
their usages
We don't have the Java APIs available publicly right now, so we do not have
Java users.
I'm not sure what you are trying to indicate with the commands you pasted
above.
Also, here's Oracle's end of lifecycle [public updates] roadmap link for
Java : https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
Oracle itself has stopped supporting Java 7 starting from April 2015.
