Unless there is substantial pushback with really good reasoning behind it,
I intend to update the LDAP SDK to drop support for Java 7 after the next
release, which should be version 6.0.11 and will likely be released
sometime in December. The next release after that should be version 7.0.0
(which I suppose is an unfortunate coincidence), and it will support Java
versions 8 and higher.
Java 7 reached its end of support life (EOSL) last year, and it’s getting
harder to support newer Java versions while retaining support for Java 7.
Java 8 is currently slated to have its EOSL at the end of 2030, and there
are no plans to drop support for it in the LDAP SDK at any time in the near
future.
