             Summary: Java 8 as the minimum supported JVM version for branch_5x
                 Key: LUCENE-6722
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6722
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Shalin Shekhar Mangar
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 5.4


Require Java 8 as the minimum supported JVM version for branch_5x.

# Java 7 is already EOL'ed
# Trunk is already at Java8
# Important Solr components such as Jetty 9.3.x already require Java 8
# Nashorn Javascript engine available in Java 8 is just so much faster and we may see more usage of JS inside Solr (SOLR-7576 etc.)
