Hi Per,
Is java 8 mandatory for kawa 2.1 ? Can I recompile a jar with java 7?
(my svn update failed and hence not sure)
I was getting the unsupported class version error when i tried the
following command
java -jar ~/Downloads/kawa-2.1.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
kawa/repl : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
