Re: Building OpenJDK 8 on 10.6.8

[Joe McGlynn]

Hi Robert,

JDK 7 is only supported on 10.7.3 and above because there are API limitations 
in versions of OS X below that.  Building the complete JDK (7 or 8) on lower 
versions of the JDK is not possible AFAIK.

I'm able to use 1.7.0_25 and earlier on 10.6.8, but not the more recent
versions.

Thanks for the quick info!

I guess then we'll have to deliver two versions of our application until
our customers have all moved beyond 10.6.

I was afraid so, given at least the retina stuff was probably fixed
using newer APIs.

Thanks! That saved me some time, testing it myself.
