Robert Scholte updated MCOMPILER-331:
-------------------------------------
Description:
I am in the process of transitioning projects to be compatible with building on
Java 9 and later. One of the steps is to supplement and eventually replace the
properties we are using for source and target:
{{<maven.compiler.source>8</maven.compiler.source>}}
{{<maven.compiler.target>8</maven.compiler.target>}}
with:
{{<maven.compiler.release>8</maven.compiler.release>}}
However, adding the additional property prevents compilation on Java 8 as it
does not accept the --release option
If the javac being used is Java 8 or older then the maven.compiler.release
property should be ignored or translated in to \-source 8 \-target 8. This will
make the transition from source/target to release easier.--
