Valid point, it would definitely make sense to raise minor version in this case.
We are unsure if we will actually remove jdk 7 sipport, but at this point any request for backport or any attempt at support for newer java versions presents a considerable pain because of JDK 7 support. Therefore I concluded I will ask on this mail and see if it would be ok to eventually remove the support. Matej ----- Original Message ----- > From: "John D.
