oops! an errate from me. Java 7 is used for Windows builds. And I
don't know what is used for Mac.
We build releases with Java 6 on all platforms. I think we discussed
this long ago on this list and it was concluded that this was the safest
option to produce builds that can run with no issues on Java 6.
Note that being able to compile with Java 8 is an entirely different
story: I mean, we want to be able to build with Java 6 since that is the
most compatible option and we use it for releases, but we also want to
be able to build with modern Java versions.
