Java 8
In testing on Windows I suddenly discovered that the support I added for Spring Cloud Config now requires that the build run using Java 8. This is because the Maven spring-boot-plugin requires Java 8. Since the build uses toolchains extensively I don’t think this will create any problems as all the stuff that supports Java 7 should still use it to compile.

Oh, it's only a toolchain issue? Not a big problem I suppose. I'm
already using Java 11 as my default JDK for Log4j right now, and it
mostly works (other than a removed class from sun.reflect that's
tested in a unit test; that's to be expected due to the StackWalker
API).

I don’t understand. Future 2.x releases will still be compatible with Java 7. Maven just has to be run using Java 8. Due to toolchains all the compiles will still be done using the Java 7 compiler.

Is there a last working version compatible with java 7 that we can use for
our 2.x releases?
