So... should I grab an old Java 7 JDK for building the > release, or should I use the latest supported version, which is Java 8? Personally, I always use Java 7. I do so as a final safety check that no Java 8 or later specific code or dependency managed to sneak into the build. I don't think it is essential to use Java 7 but I would strongly recommend that any release manager builds with the latest (publicly available) release of the minimum Java version supported by the release.
