----------------------------------------
Summary: Make JDK 7 the minimum requirement for Zookeeper
Key: ZOOKEEPER-1963
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1963
Project: ZooKeeper
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Edward Carter
JDK 6 stopped receiving public updates in early 2013:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
I propose making JDK 7 the minimum for Zookeeper going forward. One patch that
I've personally submitted already would have been a good fit for Java 7's
try-with-resources statement, and another pending patch fails to build on
versions of Java prior to 7 because a unit test in it uses
InetAddress.getLoopbackAddress(), which would be awkward to replace. I'm sure
there are many other examples.
