[aerogear-dev] Android and JDK 1.6

[Summers Pittman]

Karel brought up the fact that the Android project relies on classes 
from Java 7.  I would like for the Android project to compile using JDK 
6, but I was wondering what the rest of the project thought.

For a little back story, until recently the dexer (Android Java byte 
code to Dex byte code compiler) could only consume Java 6 byte code.  
That was very recently fixed and almost all Java 7 features are 
supported on Android version greater than Gingerbread.  The exception is 
try with resources which is only supported on KitKat.

I havn't looked at the project yet to even get an idea for how much work 
it would be, but I suspect it will be rather minimal.
