Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-532:
----------------------------------------
The main reason is that we don't ship code that causes our own tests to fail.
We try to the best of our
ability to guarantee that our code is as reliable and as highly available as
possible.
We state in the release docs that only 1.6 is officially supported:

> java compiler should be target Java 1.5
