Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-6857:
----------------------------------------
Hi Rick,
Can you think of any reason I should try to retain JDK 7 on my Derby-related
equipment?
Or should I just go fully to JDK 8 at this time?

> The community voted to stop supporting Java 6 and 7 as of release 10.13. See
> the 2015-09-12 entry here: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/VoteResults. We no
> longer need to support building Derby with those JDKs. This issue tracks
> changes needed to remove that support and simplify the build.
