We had an earlier email discussing upgrading minimum support version to JDK 7
for 3.5+
Updated the docs too.
Can we get this to trunk?
> Make JDK 7 the minimum requirement for Zookeeper
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ZOOKEEPER-1963
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1963
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 3.5.0
> Reporter: Edward Carter
> Assignee: Hongchao Deng
> Fix For: 3.5.1
>
> Attachments: ZOOKEEPER-1963-v2.patch, ZOOKEEPER-1963.patch
>
>
> 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.
