Can you clarify what you think this means and what Octave should be
doing differently? Or what specific error you have?

My understanding of Java versions is that Java 9 was just released last
month. In Java 9, Java 1.5 code is now an error and Java 1.6 code is
warned as being deprecated but still works. I changed our build system
to compile for the Java 6 target to be as backwards compatible as
possible while still supporting Java 9.
