Equinox is used in many environments where there is very long-term support 
for older Java levels.  So far I have needed to keep the Equinox Framework 
at a Java 6 level to be able to use the latest versions in these 
environments.

Unfortunately Java 6 is getting harder and harder to support while also 
accommodating new "hurdles" being presented with Java 9 [1].  I will be 
updating the Equinox Framework to Java 7 for Oxygen [2].  Please voice any 
concerns you may have in the bug report [2].  Although I expect very 
little concern since most have already moved onto Java 8!
