Description

C* 2.2 supports Java 7, in addition to Java 8. Adding a workflow to build against Java7 (in addition to existing Java8 build) would ensure any release we make on 2.2 does not break the contract of Java 7 compatibility.

There are multiple approaches of solving this - one is CircleCi build (this), and other is to add a step into the development phase for a much faster feedback loop 14563
