----------------------------------------
As Kim pointed out here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6721?focusedCommentId=15173970&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15173970
we will need to make certain documentation updates when we finish removing
support
for JDKs 6 and 7. A template for that work can be found in DERBY-6236, from when
we dropped support for JDK 5.

> 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.
