Stop running Java 7 tests on Travis CI #40

Closed walro closed 5 years ago

walro commented 5 years ago

Multiple reasons:

Java 7 only works, somewhat (see below), in the precise environment. The precise build environment is deprecated by Tracis CI
Java 7 went EoL in 2015
I did, unsuccessful, attempts to get green Java 7 builds in #37 and #39

Close #38

When making a release of the gem we have documented that we should use Java 7: https://github.com/twingly/twingly-search-api-java#make-the-release.

That's something we might want to change, but it has nothing to do with Travis/which Java versions we support so we can perhaps defer that to an issue.

I started to remove that stuff first (there are more Java 7 references), but then I figured I'd have to release a new version to fully test the workflow and felt a bit too much at this stage so I decided to focus on getting green builds.

… if we ever introduce new features I am sure we will need to drop Java 7 support.
