Edward Carter updated ZOOKEEPER-1963:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: ZOOKEEPER-1963.patch
> 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
> Fix For: 3.6.0, 4.0.0
>
> Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-1963.patch
>
>
> 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.
