Matrix - jdk 1.7 will be end of public updates, request jdk 1.8 support to SYM 7.1 (DUP36949)

below the main reason for the request JDK 1.8 – apart from that, our developers want to develop a new client and would like to use 1.8 instead of 1.7 and then redevelop it on 1.8 as soon as it is supported.

So basically they say End of public updates finish in April 2015 . Of course for major security disaster they will publish some updates as well but officially speaking they say if you need updates/fixes you need to buy some kind of payment support (Premier or Extended).
