Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-2310:
-------------------------------------
> What about updating to Java8?
This is definitely the end goal. The problem right now is the Javadoc linting
fails. If you'd like to help clean up the javadocs (and updating the CI script
to make sure they stay clean), that would much appreciated
> Source release scripts fail with Java8

> It's getting harder and harder to install Java7 these days. On a new install
> of Ubuntu 16.04 I am not even sure how to get Oracle's Java7 installed
> (though Java8 can be installed through a PPA).
> In lieu of fixing all the javadoc problems, it would be great if there was
> some other workaround to build the release on Java8
