Runtime Libraries Version for JDK 1.7

[Former Member]

I'm working on a legacy project that uses the java API of crystal reports to run and export a report. The users have requested the ability to output the report as an excel document. From what I can tell, that feature is not supported in the version I am currently using, so I need to update to Crystal Reports, version for Eclipse 2.0. The problem I'm running into is that the current version of the runtime libraries ( SP 25 ) is only compatible with JDK 1.8 or newer so when I try to compile I get 'Unsupported major/minor version' errors. Changing the JDK of the project is not an option so I need to find an older version of the libraries that will work with my environment.

Are there any versions of the java runtime libraries that are compatible with JDK 1.7? If so, where can I find them?
