Glenn Adams commented on FOP-3132:
----------------------------------
You should be able to compile with Java 11 but specify the target as Java 8,
yes? That way you produce byte code that is compatible with Java 8.
Can you comment on the reason for the source changes in this commit? They don't
seem related to the description of this issue.

> As a user I want to compile fop with java > 8 and run with java 8 without
> error
> We want to be Java 8 compatible, if we compile fop with java 11, you would
> currently get a error when runtime is java 8. We currently compile with java
> 8, but it would be good to be able to use java 11 without a risk of issues
