Remove Java 6 support #15

Closed Pr0methean closed 5 years ago

Pr0methean commented 5 years ago

Needed so that Paperclip can be built on modern versions of Maven.

Java 6 compiles on JDK 11, but not 12. Java 11 is LTS while 12 is not.

MiniDigger commented 5 years ago

the alternative would be to "update" the java6 module to java 7.

mikroskeem commented 5 years ago

Agreed, rather update this to Java 7.

This was originally added during the MC 1.8 era when everyone and their mom (and their game server hosts) ran Java 6.

The ecosystem as a whole has changed. MC now requires Java 8, most distros ship with at least Java 8.

I don’t see much reason to try and maintain this helper for Java 6 nor do I see any reason to update it to Java 7.

From the overall statistic https://bstats.org/global/bukkit we can just drop the versions 6 and 7. Screenshot 2019-06-16 at 14 57 18
