Raul Gutierrez Segales commented on ZOOKEEPER-1963:
---------------------------------------------------
+1, this would be great.
> Make JDK 7 the minimum requirement for Zookeeper
> ------------------------------------------------

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-1963
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1963
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Edward Carter
>
> JDK 6 stopped receiving public updates in early 2013:
> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
> I propose making JDK 7 the minimum for Zookeeper going forward. One patch
> that I've personally submitted already would have been a good fit for Java
> 7's try-with-resources statement, and another pending patch fails to build on
> versions of Java prior to 7 because a unit test in it uses
> InetAddress.getLoopbackAddress(), which would be awkward to replace. I'm
> sure there are many other examples.
