Head JDK 20-ea does not support building with -source/target 7 anymore. JDK 7 is very old and unlikely to be used widely. We can bump the minimal version to JDK 8 to get... ahem... all the new features that release brings!

If you have a strong opinion that we should *not* drop JDK 7 support, please speak up soon.
