Java Compiler

+ + + Removed support for souce, target and release Java 7 and below + + +

The following compiler options are now supported only for Java 8 and above: +

+    --source <release>
+    --target <release>
+    --release <release>
+    
+

I.e., from Eclipse 4.33 onward, the Eclipse IDE and ecj will no longer be able to produce JRE 7 (and below) compliant byte code, as the options metioned above are supported only for Java 8+.

+

This is the equivalent of Java 21's javac only supporting those options for Java 8+.
