We all know that Java 7 is EOL but that is the required platform currently.
As we have seen in Commons with other components, the IBM JDK sometimes gives
surprising results. It is my opinion that we do loose confidence that all is
well everywhere by omitting building on Oracle's JDK.
> Travis build redundantly repeats compilation and tests redundantly

> Key: COMPRESS-413
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-413
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build
> Affects Versions: 1.14
> Environment: Travis
> Reporter: Simon Spero
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: CI
> Fix For: 1.15
>
> Original Estimate: 0h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The Travis build setup is suboptimal.
> At the moment, code is compiled and installed by the default install phase.
> Then the default build phase is executed, which compiles and runs the tests.
> If the tests succeed, then the build is cleaned, recompiled, and retested;
> this time with
> coverage enabled.
> The .travis.yml file could be changed to skip the install phase, and to run
> tests with coverage during the build phase.
> The coveralls plugin can be configured in the pom to not fail the build if
> the service is unreachable, so forks that don't have jacoco enabled won't
> always have their builds fail.
> Also, the jdk switching in the trusty container seems to be not working
> properly at the moment, so installing a jdk7 doesn't work properly.
> These changes evolved as I was poking jenkins last night.
