Hi,

Regarding JDK versions to support, it might be worth looking at the roadmap 
here: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html.  
Support for Java 1.7 ended in 2015.  Extended support ends this month (July 
2022).  
https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/java-se-7-end-of-extended-support-in-july-2022.
  Java 1.8 support is a bit more nebulous but commercial support ended in March 
2022.  Extended support for paying customers ends in 2030.

Java 11 (LTS) might be a better baseline.

It really depends upon who you are trying to support here, and what their needs 
are.  In the absence of additional constraints, I would question why we would 
put effort into supporting thoroughly obsolete JDK versions which are no longer 
supported.  Companies which are paying to stick with these old versions are 
also highly unlikely to be upgrading Xalan-J to a new version.

Kind regards,
Roger
