One interesting thing I've noticed. You can set your source/target to 1.7,
but compile against a 1.8 JDK to leverage the newer APIs. As a result, you
create 1.7 compatible binaries, but leverage 1.8 APIs (e.g. Stream). No
runtime issues unless a user tries to call one of those APIs.
It's an old trick, but finally figured out how it was working.
