Is any chance to back to java 7 capability?

HI! I see what is not a lot of code pinned to java 8. Since many projects still on java 7, is it better to keep this capability?
No, 1.7 is not updated anymore, and 1.9 will be soon. Test code written for 1.7 can be compiled and launched on java 1.8 without any problem so can't see any reasons to back to 1.7 in code.
Why you can't update your jdk?
Because I can't violate enterprise restrictions. A lot of companies stuck in near past and requires java 7 capability.
According this doc jdk 7 extended support will until Jul 2022.
Yep - and Sustaining Support is Indefinite :)
Most of our users feel good with 1.8 and this version simplifies a lot of code maintaining pain.
You can use older versions of htmlelements or fork repo and made changes to your own corporate copy with only 1.7 code.
Sorry for inconvinience.
