Sean Busbey updated HBASE-11666:
--------------------------------
Attachment: HBASE_11666-v3.patch
It occurred to me to do search of the rest of the codebase, which turned up a
couple of comments and an error message where we should assert Java 7 instead
of Java 6.
Patch updated; last time barring feedback.
> Enforce JDK7 javac for builds on branch-1 and master

> Components: build, documentation
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Sean Busbey

> Per [the discussion on JDK versions|http://search-hadoop.com/m/DHED4Zlz0R1],
> we require Java 7 for 1.0+ (also we have code that only compiles under Java
> 7).
> Right now, if you attempt to build with JDK6, Maven will happily oblige and
> then give you a cannot find symbol error about a Java 7 class we use.
> We should
> * update the Build HBase guide to reference our supported Java versions docs
> * update our pom so that Maven will correctly complain about jdk versions.
