Java 7 is not EOL: it's not free Oracle updates if you look at slide 16 of our slides from ApacheCON [1], you'll see that Oracle has even longer support period for Java versions than IBM: the only difference is on the free period, that is more limited over time = nowadays only strict 3 years T

My 2c: Our shop has all of the infrastructure on Ubuntu (for better or worse) and no LTS Ubuntu version exists with Java 8. So for now we (and anyone else using Ubuntu) are stuck with a few options: 1) stay with 12.04/14.04 and J7 2) backport J8 to 14.04 and/or use a PPA 3) use a non-LTS stable

I disagree. Changing system requirements in a minor release is kind of weird so I'd rather say that the current practice is problematic. I actually don't know the rationale to require Java8 in the codebase but if we do it please let's label that as a major release. S. On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 8:10
