Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6857:
--------------------------------------
Hi Bryan,
To answer your other question: You don't need JDK 7 in order to build or run
Derby any more. The trunk won't compile or run on that old JDK. Thanks.
> Deprecate support for building Derby under JDKs 6 and 7

> The community voted to stop supporting Java 6 and 7 as of release 10.13. See
> the 2015-09-12 entry here: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/VoteResults. We no
> longer need to support building Derby with those JDKs. This issue tracks
> changes needed to remove that support and simplify the build.
