Posted June 27, 201213 yr As a late comer to your amazing API Ubuntu does not allow any more Java 6 upgrades due to security issues and I am stuck at java version "1.6.0_24". Is it possible you will be upgrading to Java 7 in the future? Else I will not be able to mod using Forge. Thanks
June 27, 201213 yr Is there something stopping you from using Java 7? My server and client, both running Forge and other various mods, works great with Oracle Java 7. I have the Java 7 SDK installed and use it with the Forge source to code my own addons and that also works fine.
June 27, 201213 yr Java 6 applications will run perfectly fine on Java 7 I actually use Java 7 for all of my development, and just build releases for Java 6 to give maximum compatibility with users. So... there is no issue here... I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated. Consider supporting the team on Patreon
June 28, 201213 yr I still use java6 so I have had no need to, but how do you tell java7 to only build for java6 compatibility I am curious?
June 28, 201213 yr -source 1.6 -target 1.6 I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated. Consider supporting the team on Patreon
June 28, 201213 yr -source 1.6 -target 1.6 Is that auto added by any MCP, Forge, or Eclipse workspace things? And if not, why not?

June 28, 201213 yr Ah beautiful, that was not there when last I had an issue with java7 compilation. Very cool. Deadscion should already be taken care of then.
June 28, 201213 yr He was asking for us to compile for java 7. Which is stupid, cuz that would cause us to loose support for like 50% of people. I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated. Consider supporting the team on Patreon
