Run CI over 1.7 rather than 1.8

Open chalin opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Currently CI is building and testing over Java 1.8 and 1.11, for example, see https://github.com/grpc/grpc-kotlin/pull/194/checks and the screenshot given below.

Since we're officially endorsing 1.7 as our min supported version of Java, the min Java version should probably be 1.7 in our CI jobs too. (This is partly a followup to #191 and #192.)

I tried this in https://github.com/grpc/grpc-kotlin/pull/193 but it didn't work / wasn't easy because gradle requires 1.8 to run. I'm sure there is a way to build an artifact with 1.8 (and have 1.7 compat) but then test the artifact with 1.7. However, before we invest the time we should see how much longer gRPC intends to support 1.7.

Good idea!
