Java 7 has been EOLed years ago, it's not easily accessible from Oracle, it is deprecated in Gradle 4 and there are issues in using it on Travis.

  • - display warning for Java 7 users
  • - document ability to build with Java 7 while running Gradle with Java 8
  • - switch artifacts compatibility to Java 8

Newer Gradle 4 versions display deprecation warning about Java 7 which breaks the functional tests (which check for deprecated stuff).

Issues with Java 7:

  • deprecated as of April 2016
  • deprecated in Gradle 4
  • issues issues related to maintaining of regression test harness with different Java versions (some Gradle/PIT version are not Java 9 compatible, some Gradle version doesn't like Java 7 builds)
  • limited availability of Java 7 on CI servers

The Java 7 support has been terminated as of gradle-pitest-plugin 1.3.0 (as a JDK version required to run a Gradle build). The latest version with Java 7 compatible binaries is 1.2.4.
