Will this also mean that the agents/slaves will require java 8? Will the ssh-slaves plugin install a java 8 jre if one is not available? We have some slaves building on stuff on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (and older...) which still does does not have a backported java 8 (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/trusty-backports/+bug/1368094). This is a Ubuntu LTS release with 2 years of support left which is used as the base OS for some machines, hence the reluctance to upgrade or use non standard package repositories. We have java 8 support on mainline but we still need long term support for branches of delivered machines and these branches are built using jenkins. So basically will it be possible to still run ssh slaves on OS:es not-supporting jdk8 by default?
