Hi everyone Here is the stat report based on our survey.
247 persons representing their companies or entities took part in this survey. 225 are end-users (91%) JDK compatible requirements are following 1. JDK6 13.8% 2. JDK7 12.1% 3. JDK8+ 74.1% Clearly, most users are using JDK8+. I will start a vote for this 1. SkyWalking 7.x(will start after 6.6.0 release) will work on JDK8+, including the agent 2. SkyWalking 6.x will switch to maintain mode only, provides bug fix as minimal workload 3. SkYWalking 7.x will provide compatible with 6.x agent if 6.7+ releases are required. Unless gRPC issue makes it impossible. If anyone has more suggestions, please let me know before I call for a vote.
