Hey folks,As we've been discussing that again on IRC recently, we thought it might be a good time to discuss that subject again. Latest thread about that I could find is already 18+ months old.In the meantime, Java 7 has now long been EOLed since mid 2015 (see https://java.com/en/download/faq/java_7.xml for details).
Also, many if not all of us very often advise users to just use Java 8 everytime they can to run Jenkins. We use it to build Jenkins (though generating 7 bytecode).Not EOLed, removed PermGen, Lambdas, Default Methods, etc., many reasons to update to JDK 8 from the Ops and Dev perspectives.IMO, it's time to move on. Jenkins can very easily use another JDK version for builds, so I don't think there're compelling reasons to keep supporting Java 7.The common argument that "big" companies won't then be able to use Jenkins anymore just does not hold IMO for at least two reasons: we know some very big shops just using Jenkins with Java 8 without any issue, and the most conservative companies are anyway, as always, probably still running already (very) old versions of Jenkins. They will just catch that train later.WDYT?

We already did it in 1.612.
The evil job type is a good point. Could Stephen or someone else who knows what they're talking about document how to circumvent this limitation with toolchains or something?

We already did it in 1.612.Yes and in 1.520 for Java 6. I tried to explain/document it on the plugin page : https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Maven+Project+Plugin

I wanted to push it on OSS side but I don't know where :( The problem is that there is no obvious place to do this.On the wiki page of the plugin ?

I have no stacktrace and test case as we replaced guice to released version in our custom build. Will do of course when get again, but PR in core is blocked only by maven-plugin release.
