Oracle JDK 7 is at “end of public updates” as of April 1, 2015, according to 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html.  IBM JDK 7 is slated 
for “End of Service” in Sept 2019.  So if there’s anyone interested in running 
on an IBM JVM, we should probably keep support for JDK7 for a while.  I don’t 
know how likely it is to see that demand.  It should be possible to create 
River/Jini clients under WebSphere, but I’ve never tried it.

Cheers,

Greg Trasuk
