Well, in theory, yes. In practice -- I guess not. :(
I changed my configure.in etc and rebuilt. Then a final stop with this
message --
javac: source release 1.7 requires target release 1.7
in module jvmfwk
The man page for javac (openJDK 7)has this info talks about "default"
values for targets depending on source...here are the last bits of that
o If -source is 1.5, the value of -target is 1.7
o If -source is 1.6, the value of -target is 1.7
o For all other values of -source, the value of -target is the value of
-source.
but no specific information saying iyou can NOT specify a target value
that is below your source value.
I imagine this is universal and not just specific to openJDK but I don't
know for sure.
Any other ideas?
