Question/Problem Description
Are the Connect for JDBC Drivers 5.1.4 compatible with JAVA 7
Steps to Reproduce
Clarifying Information
When testing jar files shipped with 5.1.4, for minum JAVA compatability, several class files contained in oracle.jar are marked as having MAJOR = 52 which means that Java 8 is the minimum requirement to run the file. The test to find this is to extract the jar file and run javap -verbose XXX.class

The offending classes:
DDPKCS12KeyStoreProviderIBM$KeyEntry.class (MAJOR = 52)
com\ddtek\oracleutil\
DDPKCS12KeyStoreProviderIBM$KeyId.class (MAJOR = 52)
com\ddtek\oracleutil\
DDPKCS12KeyStoreProviderIBM.class (MAJOR = 52)
com\ddtek\oracleutil\
MacDataIBM.class (MAJOR = 52)
com\ddtek\oracleutil\

Enhancement Number
Cause
Resolution
The Connect for JDBC 5.1.4 drivers are fully supported with JAVA 7. The files listed above are only referenced by the driver when connecting to Oracle using SSL PKCS12 in an environment with IBM JAVA 1.8. They are not referenced while running in any Java 7 environments.
