All - After committing the changes for KNOX-509 - KnoxSSO - we have a minimum jdk requirement of 1.7.
The apache jenkins job failed due to the dependency from the nimbus jwt library on 1.7. I changed the jenkins configuration and rebuilt and it is stable again. Apparently Hadoop common is running with 1.7 since I added the nimbus library as a dependency there as well and there has been no related failures. I think it is time that we drop 1.6 support - especially given that it is EOL'd by Oracle since 2013. So, I propose that our minimum JRE version be 1.7 in 0.6.0, that we MUST be able to build with 1.7 and also run on JRE 1.8. We will need to address our building with JDK 1.8 (and tests) in a follow up release. Thoughts? thanks, --larry
