Yes, that’s pretty much it. I remember that some of the early Java packages I added could not be built with icedtea-8. In those cases it may be sufficient to set the compiler source version to 1.7 while still using icedtea-8. I’d be happy if you could give this a try in a new branch. Once we have a branch we can build I’ll update the Cuirass specs on berlin.guixsd.org to build the Java packages and their dependencies from the new branch. Let’s base this on core-updates. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
