I’ve been playing around a little bit with Infinispan recently and one of the characteristics of this “distributed in-memory key/value data store” that I have noticed is its relatively aggressive adoption and even requirement of later major versions of Java.
The following maps Infinispan releases to minimum required Java SE versions per referenced Infinispan documentation.
| Infinispan Versions and Their Minimum Required Java Version | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Infinispan Version | Download Version | Mininum Java | References / Notes |
| Infinispan 8.2.x | 8.2.4 (“Chakra”) | Java SE 8 | Frequently Asked Questions Infinispan ISPN-6313 |
| Infinispan 8.1.x | 8.1.3 (“Mahou”) | Java SE 8 | Frequently Asked Questions Infinispan ISPN-6313 |
| Infinispan 8.0.x | 8.0.2 (“Infinite Darkness”) | Java SE 8? | Frequently Asked Questions Infinispan ISPN-6313 Infinispan Release Notes Infinispan Blog |
| Infinispan 7.2.x | 7.2.5 (“Insanely Bad Elf”) | Java SE 7 | Frequently Asked Questions Infinispan ISPN-4335 |
| Infinispan 7.1.x | 7.1.1 (“Hoptimus Prime”) | Java SE 7 | Frequently Asked Questions Infinispan ISPN-4335 |

| Infinispan 5.3.x | 5.3.0 (“Tactical Nuclear Penguin”) | Java SE 6 | Frequently Asked Questions |
It’s easy to remember the minimum version of Java required for Infinispan 6.x, Infinispan 7.x, and Infinispan 8.x as each of them requires at least the Java with major version of the same number (Infinispan 6.x requires Java SE 6, Infinispan 7.x requires Java SE 7, and Infinispan 8.x requires Java SE 8).
