Library uses Java 8 which makes integration difficult

riyaz opened this issue 7 years ago · 4 comments

When I tried to integrate lib build failed since OpenYOLO uses Java 8, to use Java 8 I need to migrate my app to Gradle 3.0 plugin which has its own setup process, maybe bit relaxed requirement of Java is good for easy integration.

Thanks for pointing this out! I will try and new release out soon that will support 1.7+. Based on some quick research that seems the lowest commonly used version, but if anyone knows differently please comment :)

I wouldn't rush to change this. The 3.x build plugins are now stable, and Java 8 is here to stay.

I wouldn't rush to change this. The 3.x build plugins are now stable, and Java 8 is here to stay.

Given that it is a small change to our source code and can reduce the required work for a developer to integrate I think it is worth getting in asap. I am also concerned that this could be a blocker for some codebases where upgrading to 3.x could be non-trival (e.g. Fennec).

Done, the next release will support 1.7+.
