Michael Musgrove commented on JBTM-2432:
----------------------------------------

Not yet but but forum thread https://developer.jboss.org/thread/260122 makes the decision to allow Java 8 for feature development whilst keeping with Java 7 for bug fixes.

I have changed the CI job to compile and run our surefire tests on the Java 7 ibm and skip any tests that require a wildfly container.

> We currently have provisional support for the IBM® J9 virtual machine for Java 7 but building narayana master now requires Java 8 (which we inherited from WildFly master which enforces Java 8).
> Now it appears that the J9 virtual machine for Java 8 is not available on linux. When you go to the download page the linux download button redirects to the Oracle Hot Spot VM. We either need to abandon support for J9 or we add a CI machine running z/OS
