Thank you Erick. I'm sorry I did not clarify this in my original message. I'm compiling Solr (or SolrJ) under Java 7. I'm aware that it requires Java 7 to compile, and that's why I have not changed the "java.source" value in the common-build.xml file. SolrJ compiles fine. My problem is that I would like to run it under Java 6 i.e. JRE 6. In my personal projects I do this by supplying the "-target 1.6" flag to the Java Compiler "javac" and it works fine. (I think I use Java 7 features, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the compiler is Java 7, but the execution eviroment is Java 6).
I'm not familiar with Java, but I thought that you could compile Java 7 code to run under Java 6. Is this wrong? I know you get some warnings at the compile time, but I have ignored them in the past and my code worked fine. Thank you again and also to Upayavira. I'm wondering if there is a way out. O. O.
