The package still depends on >=jdk-1.5 (for build) and >=jre-1.5 at runtime, but, during build, it tries to use the -h option to javac which only exists in 1.8 and up: $ /usr/lib/jvm/icedtea-6/bin/javac -help Usage: javac <options> <source files> where possible options include: -g Generate all debugging info -g:none Generate no debugging info -g:{lines,vars,source} Generate only some debugging info -nowarn Generate no warnings -verbose Output messages about what the compiler is doing -deprecation Output source locations where deprecated APIs are used -classpath <path> Specify where to find user class files and annotation processors -cp <path> Specify where to find user class files and annotation processors -sourcepath <path> Specify where to find input source files -bootclasspath <path> Override location of bootstrap class files -extdirs <dirs> Override location of installed extensions -endorseddirs <dirs> Override location of endorsed standards path -proc:{none,only} Control whether annotation processing and/or compilation is done. -processor <class1>[,<class2>,<class3>...]Names of the annotation processors to run;

Build with a JDK < 1.8 2. 3. Actual Results: Build fails Expected Results: Build succeeds Both the JDK and JRE requirement need to be bumped, as otherwise a mixed build of 1.5 and 1.8 class files results and it eventually fails with invalid bytecode.
