>                 Key: OOZIE-2040
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2040
>             Project: Oozie
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: build
>    Affects Versions: 4.0.1
>         Environment: All
>            Reporter: Tony Reix
>            Priority: Major
>   Original Estimate: 1h
>  Remaining Estimate: 1h

> oozie pom.xml file says:
> <properties>
> <targetJavaVersion>1.6</targetJavaVersion>
> Requiring Java 1.6 (though Oozie compiles and runs perfectly with Java 1.7) creates issues:
> - on machines where no Java 1.6 JVM is available (like on Ubuntu/PPC64LE)
> - when Oozie source code is automaticaly downloaded and compiled within a product that does not require Java 1.6. When compiling Falcon, its pom.xml and .sh files download Oozie source code and compiles it. No way to patch the Oozie pom.xml "1.6" string by "1.7".
> So, it would help that Oozie requires a java version greater or equal to 1.6 .
