RHEL 5 will leave regular support in March: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux#Product_life_cycle RHEL 6 + 7 support Java 8. I don't see this particular distro as a problem. In general, availability of a supported (old) JRE doesn't mean we should't require something newer. Absence of a support (new) JRE would be the problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
