[Biojava-l] [Biojava-dev] Increasing Java version requirement for BioJava

[Jose Duarte]

Just to be clear. I was speaking about Ubuntu LTS (Long Time Support)
releases (released only every 2 years). The normal Ubuntu releases
(appearing April and October every year) have the openjdk Java 8 package in
the standard repository since release 15.04.
