Such combination results in "target release 1.7 conflicts with default source release 1.8". Although the [javac doc| http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/javac.html] is not very clear about this, it seems that the target >= source is a hard constrain. The second option (e.g. to have a parallel 1.7 compatible build) is not possible either as the source code uses 1.8 lambdas. Any other ideas for backward (java 1.7) support? > Bump Java Language level to 1.8 > ------------------------------- > > Key: GEODE-479 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-479 > Project: Geode > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: William Markito Oliveira > Assignee: William Markito Oliveira > Fix For: 1.0.0-incubating.M1 > > Attachments: GEODE-479.patch > > > Change sourceCompatibility and targetCompatibility to 1.8 enabling Java 8 features in Geode codebase. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
