GitHub and Travis do not build on Java 7, their lowest Java version is 8. For Java 14 and up, failures are due to the removal of Pack200 support from the JDK. I think we are still trying to figure out how to remedy this within Compress, maybe by bringing in Apache Harmony code. For a Compress 2.0, we could talk about dropping Pack200 altogether along with any BC breaking changes we might want to do. Gary cheers, > Lee >
