------------------------------------------
Summary: option to bypass Java 8 check
Key: DAFFODIL-1921
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1921
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Back End
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Reporter: Michael Beckerle
Fix For: 2.2.0
Currently Daffodil insists on Java 8+. It refuses to run on Java 7.
Some users need it to run on Java 7, and despite the possible charset decoder
issues on decode errors in Java 7, they want to try it anyway.
So some mechanism for bypassing the Java 8 check should be put in place so that
the check will not be done. I would suggest an undocumented "feature" for now,
as we don't really know the implications of running on Java 7, and don't test
there.
