Minimum Java version for netCDF-Java

Currently, the netCDF-Java project targets version 8 of the JVM. We are looking to get a feel for the minimum version required by the community, as support for Java 8 begins to dwindle for 3rd party dependencies that the project relies upon. Please consider participating in our GitHub poll.
