 Hi,
Java 7 reaches end of life on April 2017 and will not receive free updates beyond that.

Java 8 also comes with a range of new features we would like to take advantage of.

As a result we will start using Java 8 from DHIS 2.20. (The next release is 2.19). This means that to deploy 2.20 you will have to update the Java SDK on your server to Java 8. Java 8 is already available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.
regards,
Lars
