Nick Couchman created GUACAMOLE-636:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Bump Target Java Version to 1.8
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-636
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-636
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: guacamole, guacamole-auth-cas, guacamole-auth-duo, guacamole-auth-header, guacamole-auth-jdbc, guacamole-auth-jdbc-mysql, guacamole-auth-jdbc-postgresql, guacamole-auth-jdbc-sqlserver, guacamole-auth-openid, guacamole-client, guacamole-ext
            Reporter: Nick Couchman
            Assignee: Nick Couchman
             Fix For: 1.0.0


Per discussion in a recent pull request (see external link), this is a last-minute addition to the 1.0.0 release to bump the target Java version for everything *except* the guacamole-common API up to Java 1.8.  The rationale is that Java 1.6 and 1.7 have both been unsupported for multiple years, and the risk of newer features and external requirements having issues with the older versions of Java is high and only going to increase.  It's time.
