[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-22879) JavaEE jars files are built with another java version than used for compilation

Mikhail Kalkov created JBIDE-22879: -------------------------------------- Summary: JavaEE jars files are built with another java version than used for compilation Key: JBIDE-22879 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-22879 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: server Affects Versions: 4.4.0.Final, 4.2.3.Final Environment: I've observed this problem on a Win7 64 bit machine with Oracle JRE 1.8.0_102 64 bit. It was present in both JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0.GA and 10.0.0.GA when used in conjunction with embedded Maven installation and JBoss EAP 6.4 target runtime. Reporter: Mikhail Kalkov Attachments: test-projects.zip I have installed system-wide JRE 8 in order to run all java applications with it. At the same time, out target platform is still based on Java 7 and that's why I've also downloaded JDK 7 and set JAVA_HOME path to it. When I build test-ejb project from attached zip file on command line, maven both compiles and packages it with JDK 7 obtained from JAVA_HOME. When I build the same project with JBoss Developer Studio which was configured via Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs to use JDK 7 by default, class files get version 51 (java 7) but Build-Jdk stanza in MANIFEST.MF is set to 1.8.0_102 instead of 1.7. I've also observed that test-ear project is also packaged with Java 8 instead of Java 7. This is not a big issue but is a bit worrying since for example jar tool from JDK 8 may contains bugfixes not present in JDK 7. This also makes me think that other tools may be fetched from wrong JDK version. Finally, I'm not even sure whether this is a JBoss Tools, Eclipse WTP or Eclipse M2E issue but it is clearly present in the latest stock version of JBoss Developer Studio. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
