I haven't looked at the entire log or anything, but I suspect it is because upstream is using a special source/target combination that allows them to compile 1.5+ code into 1.4 byte code (or so). I believe it is JSR14...
To my knowledge, upstream is already aware of it[1], though I am not quite up to speed with its status. As far as I can tell, it is currently targeted for the release after 3.8 (3.9 or possible 4.X). ~Niels [1] http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/p2-dev/msg04656.html https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=369145 ** Bug watch added: Eclipse bugs #369145 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=369145 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888934 Title: eclipse version 3.7.0-1 failed to build with openjdk-7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/888934/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
