Java End of Life Time

[John Yeary]

Why would we want to continue to support JDK6 when the community is focused
on JDK7, JDK8, and JDK9. There may a future in someone (company) other than
Oracle to provide the support from the OpenJDK side of things. However, I
think that the focus should be on getting companied to stay current.
