Hi Roger, I dropped the build on Java 7 only because on 2.0.x the minimum required Java version is 6, and the current one is Java 8, and Java 7 is after End-of-Life so I think is no more relevant (even because if some code compiles with Java 6 and with Java 8 usually if works even with Java 7) ...
Anyway if needed we can restore is (or better, define it from scratch in Jenkins).
