Artem Ervits resolved OOZIE-2040.
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

with Oozie 5.0, Java 8 is supported and Java 6 is dropped.

> Do not require Java v1.6 exact version for building Oozie. >= 1.6 rather.

>                 Key: OOZIE-2040
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2040
>             Project: Oozie
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: build
>    Affects Versions: 4.0.1
>         Environment: All
>            Reporter: Tony Reix
>            Priority: Major
>   Original Estimate: 1h
>  Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> oozie pom.xml file says:
> <properties>
> <targetJavaVersion>1.6</targetJavaVersion>
> Requiring Java 1.6 (though Oozie compiles and runs perfectly with Java 1.7) 
> creates issues:
> - on machines where no Java 1.6 JVM is available (like on Ubuntu/PPC64LE)
> - when Oozie source code is automaticaly downloaded and compiled within a 
> product that does not require Java 1.6. When compiling Falcon, its pom.xml 
> and .sh files download Oozie source code and compiles it. No way to patch the 
> Oozie pom.xml "1.6" string by "1.7".
> So, it would help that Oozie requires a java version greater or equal to 1.6 .
