Description

It's getting harder and harder to install Java7 these days. On a new install of Ubuntu 16.04 I am not even sure how to get Oracle's Java7 installed (though Java8 can be installed through a PPA).

In lieu of fixing all the javadoc problems, it would be great if there was some other workaround to build the release on Java8
