Summary ------- Remove support for the 6/1.6 argument to `javac`'s `-source`, `-target`, and `--release` options. Problem ------- Per the policy described in JEP 182: Policy for Retiring javac -source and -target Options http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/182 support for a particular `-source`/`-target`/`--release` value has a limited lifetime. After discussion on jdk-dev (http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-dev/2018-May/001190.html), removing support for 6 was deferred from JDK 11 to JDK 12. Solution -------- Drop support for 6 and have 7 be reported as obsolete. Specification ------------- No longer accept 6/1.6 as a valid argument and when used report 7/1.7 as obsolete.
