Matt Benson commented on WEAVER-11:

I can't comment W-11 not sure why
point is: if you build BVal with j8 with source=target=1.7 then it doesn't run
on j7 cause of Executable reference in bval code itself when using Reflection.

able to comment despite the ongoing JIRA lockdown.
> bytecode generated with java 7 or 8 is different and can break on earlier

> Reporter: Romain Manni-Bucau

> Encountered on bval where building with java 8 makes the bytecode java 8
> compliant and breaks under java 7.
> See org.apache.bval.util.reflection.Reflection#setAccessible where Utf8
> java/lang/reflect/Executable is injected with java 8 and Executable
> is a java 8 class only.
