Alexander, You're welcome to try the patch in a dev environment and send us feedback on what you find. The more the merrier in that respect, however, just to be clear... this is absolutely not recommended as an immediate production fix for your issue (assuming this environment you're emailing about is a production one). If it is a prod environment, you have to go the Java 8 route for now to resolve this for your client.
