      Description

      The community voted to stop supporting Java 6 and 7 as of release 10.13. See the 2015-09-12 entry here: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/VoteResults. We no longer need to support building Derby with those JDKs. This issue tracks changes needed to remove that support and simplify the build.
