Dima Spivak commented on HBASE-13344:
-------------------------------------
I do think it would be useful to have the ability to build with an earlier
version than your JDK runtime is set to. Customers are sometimes adventurous
with upgrading their JDK runtimes in experimental settings, and unit tests are
one of the first ways they find out if things break. Would this patch be
compatible with such an approach?

> The [ref guide gives a list of JDKs that we expect our hbase versions to work
> with at runtime|http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#basic.prerequisites].
> Let's add in the extra-enforcer-rules mojo and start using [the bytecode
> version
> rule|http://mojo.codehaus.org/extra-enforcer-rules/enforceBytecodeVersion.html]
> to make sure that the result of our builds on a given branch won't fail out
> because of a misconfigured target jdk version (or a dependency that targets a
> later jdk).
