Investigate whether it is possible to run the tests on a Java 5, Java 6 and/or Java 7 in a CI environment like GitHub Actions Workflow or Travis.

Perhaps this GitHub action is useful:

I was unable to automate testing on Java 5 in the GitHub Actions CI environment, mainly because I could not find a way to install Java 5...

(Downloading the Java 5 binaries from the Oracle Archive requires an account, agreeing to some license, etc. I could not see how to automate this easily.)

The current state is that the GitHub Actions CI builds picocli and runs the tests on Java 6 and 7.
Building and running on Java 5 can be done locally on a developer workstation that has Java 5 installed.

The configuration for building on Java 5-6-7 lives in the picocli-legacy-tests directory of the main picocli project.
