Hi,
Now that I will need to build a 10.10 release, I am starting to wonder...:
- do I need a 1.8 JVM to fully build this release? Or will it build
the same if I have only a 1.6 JVM?

Hi Myrna,
To generate all the bits, you'll need a Java 8 JDK which has no legal
encumbrances. For this purpose, I had to build OpenJDK 8 from scratch
(see
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html).
Note that you can't generate a Derby release by using Oracle's early
access builds of JDK 8. That is because of restrictions in the early
access license.
Let me know if you need assistance here.
Thanks,
-Rick
