Hi, just to make sure that everyone notices: My question about handling JDK7 vs. JDK8 raised concerns by Arnaud Launay. He likes to be able to compile the full stack with openjdk7, which is the only supported JDK in Debian-8.
I asked him in BIGTOP-2649 to propose changes to have a JDK switching vacility. Right now it is a singular workaround for this usecase, but I think it can be handy when JDK9 arrives. If anyone has concerns please speak up here or subscribe to BIGTOP-2649. Olaf
