Java 7 or above is required for using this client.

79
+
Google's Java client libraries,
80
+
[Google Cloud Client Libraries][cloudlibs]
81
+
and
82
+
[Google Cloud API Libraries][apilibs],
83
+
follow the

[Oracle Java SE support roadmap][oracle]
85
+
(see the Oracle Java SE Product Releases section).
86
+
87
+
### For new development
88
+
89
+
In general, new feature development occurs with support for the lowest Java
90
+
LTS version covered by Oracle's Premier Support (which typically lasts 5 years
91
+
from initial General Availability). If the minimum required JVM for a given
92
+
library is changed, it is accompanied by a [semver][semver] major release.
93
+
94
+
Java 11 and (in September 2021) Java 17 are the best choices for new
95
+
development.
96
+
97
+
### Keeping production systems current
98
+
99
+
Google tests its client libraries with all current LTS versions covered by
100
+
Oracle's Extended Support (which typically lasts 8 years from initial
101
+
General Availability).
102
+
103
+
#### Legacy support
104
+
105
+
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Java runtimes with long
106
+
term stable libraries that don't receive feature updates on a best efforts basis
107
+
as it may not be possible to backport all patches.
108
+
109
+
Google provides updates on a best efforts basis to apps that continue to use
110
+
Java 7, though apps might need to upgrade to current versions of the library
111
+
that supports their JVM.
112
+
113
+
#### Where to find specific information
114
+
115
+
The latest versions and the supported Java versions are identified on
116
+
the individual GitHub repository `github.com/GoogleAPIs/java-SERVICENAME`
117
+
and on [google-cloud-java][g-c-j].
