[java-gnome-hackers] Source and Target versions

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

For a long time we're added

        -source 1.5 -target 1.5

to the compiler line; this was largely based on our experiences in
Gentoo land where different bytecode versions really weren't as
forward-compatible as you'd think.

Here we are in the era of Java 7; should we be dropping these flags
entirely and just letting the distro build environment do what it thinks
best? I'm inclined to, but we [or more to the point, our developers]
have been burned by this in the past.
