How to fail fast on Java 1.7 ?
Hi,
As org.apache.felix.http.jetty now requires Java 1.8, trying to start
the launchpad/builder jar with 1.7 fails to bring up an HTTP port.
Although the standard missing requirements message is logged [1], I'd
like to implement a louder failure in this case - the launchpad should
exit quickly with a blatant error message explaining that it cannot
run on 1.7 or less anymore.
Do people have suggestions for how to implement this cleanly, for all launchers?
Being able to set the equivalent of
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment at the framework level would be
nice but I don't think it's possible.

Good idea - it won't work for other launchers but that's a good first step.
Implemented in SLING-5951.

Why not simply compile launchpad base with Java 8?
