Drop support for Java 7 #3426
Labels
priority: p2
Moderately-important priority. Fix may not be included in next release.
type: process
A process-related concern. May include testing, release, or the like.
Clients won't be able to fetch dependencies from Maven due to Java 7 not supporting TLS 1.2 by default
Sample failed CI build, note the "Received fatal alert: protocol_version" message:
This will continue to break any CI builds that use Java 7, e.g. in google-cloud-java.
This can be mitigated by #3427, which will solve the dependency fetch issue, but still leaves open concerns that we are supported an outdated, potentially insecure version of Java.
Java 7 doesn't have public security updates any more, and it has been deprecated by Oracle.
