aharui commented on issue #641: Fix PAYG violations and code debt URL: https://github.com/apache/royale-asjs/issues/641#issuecomment-570487216 I am not an Java expert. AIUI, there is a minimum JDK and there is a code-style option, and a output byte-code version option for the Java compiler. I think we've set the minimum JDK at version 8 because of SASS. But our code is still written for Java <8. I do not know what the output version is, but I think it may also be <8. FB has a patch that will get it to run on Java 8. I do not know what would happen if the jars that interface with FB were given a newer code style and/or output version. FB runs on OS X Sierra. I have not switched to newer. I've heard some complaints, not sure if they were resolved or not. If someone has the time to upgrade the code style and output options and get everything working again, that's fine with me. Updating to a new GCC is fine too, but will likely blow up the modules work I've done for js-release as I noticed they've rewritten some of the compiler passes I had to fork. So upgrading GCC is likely to be a lot of work. IMO, unless JDK versions are being obsoleted in a way that will affect us, we have higher priorities than upgrading. But if someone wants to do it, I won't object.
