Yes, but at least on Windows, if you build with Java 8, the resulting
binaries will not recognize Java 7.  This is only true for 4.1.x and
does not affect trunk for some reason even though the code is
essentially identical.  I haven't had a time to dig into this problem.

The fix in this bug report is to allow ODK to be built with Java 8.
Since the fix was revoked, if you want to build ODK, then you must build
with Java 7.
