How did you set it?  Since this is using the package’s own build.xml
you’d need to patch it.

I tried two things:

1. set in the make-flags like this:

-Dant.build.javac.source=1.7

-Dant.build.javac.target=1.7

this did not work, but complained that the source is 1.7 and no bootstrap classpath is set, so I guess that these properties are considered.

2. patched the build.xml:

substituted

<javac  srcdir="${source.java}"

with

<javac  srcdir="${source.java}" soruce="1.7" target="1.7"

same result as above.

This is the only package that right now does not work on java8.

All others build.

I still have the issue with the java-simple-xml test failing, I've temporarily disabled tests.

These are the only two remaining.
