I installed a new version of a 16.9 agent yesterday and noticed that it is still shipping with Java 7 JRE.
I have read that Java 7 was deprecated as of 16.5 and that GO will stop supporting Java 7 as of version 17.1 therefore I was surprised to see that the agent is still shipping with Java 7. Is the deprecation referring to the server side of GO only? Is the agent still supposed to run on Java 1.7? The System Requirements <https://docs.go.cd/current/installation/system_requirements.html> document list Java 7 as requirement for both server and agent.
