This means source level 7 is now the default for all Fennec Java code. Anyone attempting to use an old version of javac will encounter a configure error. Due to configure's caching behaviour, if you do an incremental build with an old compiler you might get something like: "major version 51 is newer than 50, the highest major version supported by this compiler" In either case, you'll need to use at least javac 7 in order to succeed. On the bright side, this means you can now start using source level 7 features in your code. You can find a full list of shiny new toys here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/language/enhancements.html#javase7 All of these will now work, aside from try-with-resources (which, for annoying reasons, is incompatible with versions of Android earlier than API 19 :( ) Enjoy! _______________________________________________ mobile-firefox-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev
