Remove use of jdk7 from IBM i programs

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

IBM has announced that IBM i 7.3 will be the last version to support jdk7 at:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20i%20Technology%20Updates/page/Java%20products%20and%20options%20on%20IBM%20i
I believe IBM i 7.3 should stop using it in IBM i supplied programs to make ready.
I ran the following:
CHGAUD OBJ('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk70') OBJAUD(*ALL) SUBTREE(*ALL)
Waited 24 hours
SELECT journal_code, journal_entry_type, "CURRENT_USER", "JOB_NAME", "JOB_USER", "JOB_NUMBER", PROGRAM_NAME, PROGRAM_LIBRARY, PATH_NAME
FROM TABLE (QSYS2.Display_Journal(
JOURNAL_LIBRARY => 'QSYS',
JOURNAL_NAME => 'QAUDJRN',
STARTING_RECEIVER_LIBRARY => 'QGPL',
STARTING_RECEIVER_NAME => '*CURCHAIN',
STARTING_TIMESTAMP => TIMESTAMP('2019-04-01-07.29.00')
)) X
WHERE JOURNAL_ENTRY_TYPE NOT IN('AD', 'ZC') -- Created by CHGAUD
AND PATH_NAME LIKE '%jdk7%'
;

And the only hit was QCLNSYSLOG which I believe to be part of GO CLEANUP.


Use Case:

Ensure we are using the latest JDK for security and patch reasons.
Be ready for future release upgrades.
