@HeartSaVioR Thank you for comment! So do you mean that it is necessary to
keep supporting JDK6, 7? JDK7 and below are [no longer supported by Oracle
officially](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/eol-135779.html?ssSourceSiteId=otnjp).
There will be no public updates about JDK7.
I think it will cause a lot of cost to maintain outdated JDKs, but I want
to hear some other opinions.
Thank you.
> Support JDK 8 compile and runtime.
