Currently the javac calls for building the bootstrap tools (not the classes for the final JDK, which correctly now use source and target 7) don't set an explicit source and target version.
The webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/ecj/02/webrev.01/ sets these to 6 explicitly, as happens in the Ant builds performed by langtools/jaxp/jaxws. This is noticeable especially when using ecj as the bootstrap javac as it defaults to a version < 1.5, and the build fails. Ok to push? Thanks, -- Andrew :-) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
