[Solution] Compile mod with Forge using Java 1.7

[CatDany]

Hello, everyone!

 

I had a problem:

I use java 7 feature (String in switch) in my Minecraft mod. It's OK when i'm running it in Eclipse but when I compile it throws an error.

 

If you have the same problem, don't worry I found a solution:

1. Open mcp/conf/mcp.cfg file

2. Change "-source 1.6 -target 1.6" in line 160 to "-source 1.7 -target 1.7".

3. Run "recompile"

 

I posted this because I didn't find solution on forums and probably it'll help someone.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

You shouldn't be using the python scripts and MCP if you're developing for 1.6.4 and above, use the gradle ones.

Developing mods for 1.7 java will alienate roughly 1/2 of the minecraft community. I advise against it.

However, as luacs says, this python is the old methods, and as such is not supported.
