The problem is that its REALLY hard to build the whole of Felix for a given compiler version. Many of the projects have their own overrides to specific JDK versions, and further, others use classes which are imported from expanded jar files (as far as I can see) which are therefore not possible to recompile to a particular version (http.jetty being a case in point).
