[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-11807) Add modern arguments to build.xml javac

["Edward Capriolo (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Edward Capriolo created CASSANDRA-11807:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Add modern arguments to build.xml javac
                 Key: CASSANDRA-11807
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11807
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Edward Capriolo
            Priority: Minor


My out-of-the-box experience with Cassandra trunk is:

{noformat}
/home/edward/Documents/java/cassandra/build.xml:805: Class not found: javac1.8
{noformat}

Due to the nature of ant I can be related to some obscure thing that probably only affects .0003 of users.  In any case documentation on the interweb suggests:
 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20702626/javac1-8-class-not-found

{noformat}
compiler="modern"
{noformat}

It seems to be reasonable that since trunk will only build on ultra-modern jvms compiler="modern" is an acceptable option. With this the build works (for me)
