Yes. CXF supports Java 7. Since Java 7 contains the 2.2.x versions of both JAXB and JAX-WS API jars, using CXF with Java 7 is much easier than with Java 6.

Info

CXF 3.2 no longer supports Java 7 and requires Java 8 or newer. Users are strongly encouraged to start moving to Java 8.

Can CXF run with JDK 1.6?

JDK 1.6 incorporates the JAXB reference implementation. However, it incorporates an old version of the RI. CXF does not support this version. As of 1.6_04, this is easy to deal with: you must put the versions of JAXB RI (the 'impl' and 'xjc' jars) that we include with CXF in your classpath. As of this writing, these are version 2.2.10.

Info

The current plan is that CXF 3.1 will no longer support supports Java 6 and will require requires Java 7 or newer. Users are strongly encouraged to start moving to Java 7.

Can CXF run with JDK 1.5?
