Developer Tools Blog

The article announces that the AWS SDK for Java 1.x will no longer support Java 7 starting from version 1.12.768, released on August 13, 2024.

Specifically, the article covers:

  • The AWS SDK for Java currently maintains two major versions: 1.12.x and 2.x
  • Java 7 has reached end of life, and a key library used by the SDK (Jackson) no longer supports Java 7
  • Recommendations for users currently on Java 7 and AWS SDK 1.12.x:
    • Upgrade to Java 8 or newer and migrate to AWS SDK for Java 2.x
    • Or pin to an older AWS SDK 1.x version that supports Java 7, but no further updates
  • Reasons for dropping Java 7 support: end of life, and dependency issues with third-party libraries
  • The team welcomes feedback and contributions on the aws-sdk-java-v2 GitHub repository
