The Ant build.xml file enables compilation on Java 5, 6 and 7. The jar files produced should run on any of these versions. The developers may move to Java 7 if it contains new usable features. Are you sure someone didn't modify the Ant build script to get it to work with Java 8? No matter what I do, it won't work here. Best regards from Ohio, Vic
