Hi folks, Over in Bug 1485439 [1], JanH moved mozilla-central to using Java 8. However, that requires downstream consumers -- including Focus and presumably various Fire TV-type Apps -- to also use Java 8. Java 8 is standard in the Android ecosystem (for example, Google's toolchains have required Java 8 for A Long Time) but it can still lead to cryptic error messages at build time [2] (which I haven't witnessed personally, but I expect will look like `java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Unsupported major.minor version XY.Z`).
People involved in potentially impacted projects (Focus, Fire TV, android-components) could you make sure this gets to the right mailing lists?
