IMHO, no: the whole point is to compile (and run) the whole stack
using the same JDK. This is the only way I'm sure things don't
get mixed up -- trying to use a JDK 8 with a different
target/source seems to me much more trouble and probably
more maintenance, too. Plus the fact that you'll never be 100%
sure that everything has the correct settings passed...
If you have a look at the patches I sent earlier, I hope you'll
find them non-intrusive, the default stays with java 8, and it
permits to choose a different one with a single environment variable.
I built the full bigtop stack, with those patches and
BIGTOP_JDK=7 defined (well, the full deb target at least), today,
without a glitch.
