Follow-up Comment #5, bug #51803 (project octave):
I'm actually rethinking keeping the options, and maybe changing them to 1.6
for now. But dropping octave.jar is still valid. I just checked my mxe-octave
build logs and it also uses the build host JDK to recompile the Java sources
and create octave.jar.
If I build Octave using Java 8 without specifying these options, then Octave
can only use Java 8 or newer. This may be very important, especially for the
Windows distribution, and maybe for other OS if we ever address bug #40111.
So I think we do need to keep specifying a minimum to make sure the bytecode
is backwards compatible.
