--------------------------------
Summary: Android build fails on Linux with JDK 7 -- needs JDK 8
Key: CB-11640
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11640
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android
Affects Versions: 6.3.0
Environment: OS: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian
3.16.7-ckt25-2+deb8u3 (2016-07-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Cordova: 6.3.0
Cordova Android: 5.2.1
Reporter: Andrew Neff
Android platform documentation says JDK 7 or later.
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html
In fact, the default/sample project build throws a
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError in :transformClassesWithDexForDebug.
-->>
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
com/android/dx/command/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
<<--
When I change to JDK 8, the problem goes away and everything seems OK. (I only
tested this with OpenJDK, but suspect it will be the same for Oracle Java.)
If you decide to fix this by changing the docs, be aware that the JDK download
link you currently provide offers only JDK 7 downloads.
