Description

Description

The latest Swagger Codegen no longer supports Java 7, which means users must have Java 8 or later installed in order to build the project locally in their environment.

If anyone has a compelling reason to use Java 7 for this project, please reply to let us know.

(The auto-generated Java API client still supports Java 6 or later)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the latest master build requirements and the issue discussion about Java 7 support. No file, test, or entry point is named, so first identify where the project's Java version requirement is defined; done would require a clear decision on whether Java 7 support should be restored or explicitly rejected.
