I'd also like to use this opportunity to point you to JEP 238:
Multi-Version JAR Files [0],
which is currently a Candidate JEP for JDK 9.
It's goal is to extend the JAR file format to allow multiple, JDK
release-specific versions of class
files to coexist in a single file. An additional goal is to backport the
run-time changes to
JDK 8u60, thereby enabling JDK 8 to consume multi-version JARs. For a
detailed discussion,
please see the corresponding thread on the core-libs-dev mailing list. [1]
Please keep in mind that a JEP in the Candidate state is merely an idea
worthy of consideration
by JDK Release Projects and related efforts; there is no commitment that
it will be delivered in
any particular release.
Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the corelibs-dev
mailing list. (If you
haven’t already subscribed to that list then please do so first,
otherwise your message will be
discarded as spam.)
Rgds,Rory
