See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/System+Requirements
Note Java 7 has already reaches end of life and is no longer maintained by
Oracle for free.

Assuming the OFBiz 9.04 implementation was customized according to the

You can find info on OFBiz service providers here. They can help to assess
