Christian Tzolov commented on GEODE-479:
----------------------------------------
Apparently my suggestion to use -source 1.8 and -target 1.7 is not allowed.
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?
