Seriously, I can't even find info on Java 9 working with Android, and jenv
is not letting me switch between Java 8 and Java 9, so it's definitely not
ready for primetime. :/
> Android build fails 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, Docs
> 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
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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.
