Michael Osipov commented on CODEC-253:
--------------------------------------
That's a pretty weak explanation. Java 7 still receives updates, many
commercial vendors will provide updates too. Moreover, as long as you don't
really use Java 8 feature I see no reason to raise the requirement.
> Upgrade to Java 8
