Re: [Jflex-devel] Minimum build JDK: 6->7 ?

[Gerwin K. <ge...@do...>]

Sorry, have overlooked this somehow. Yes, no problem from my side with switching the minimum supported build to 1.7.

It’d be nice to make the test suite aware of JDK version at the points where it is sensitive to that. If I remember correctly the failure was just a different output order of a Hashtable or similar.

Do you want to push the change directly?

Cheers,
Gerwin
