There is not an official package of OpenJDK 7 built for stretch.
However, you have several options:
- take the openjdk-7 source package from jessie and rebuild it on
stretch
- download the openjdk-7 binary packages from jessie and attempt to
install them on stretch (this may require also downloading and
installing other packages to satisfy dependencies; it might work
better by using "apt pinning")
- continue running jessie
- download the binary Oracle JDK 7 from the Oracle download site (may
require a support contract with Oracle, or you might be able to
obtain a several years old version from the archive site)
- consider using one of the forks (e.g., Amazon Corretto) that has a
supporting organization behind it
Keep in mind, though, that OpenJDK 7 is end of life at this point that
that using it for public Internet-facing services or other untrusted
environments will become increasingly less safe as new vulnerabilities
are discovered.
