Hi again,

I'm having problems with LWJGL Build 79 (Stable version). I am wondering if you need Java 8 for this version to work. I've done some preliminary research in how this would work.
Here is the stack trace:

Yes, LWJGL 3 requires Java 8. See Github issue #177 for details.

I've done some research on installing Java 8 for linux. Do you have any insight on how to download java 8 for linux? Anything about transferring Java 7 to 8?
