[jira] [Created] (DAFFODIL-1921) option to bypass Java 8 check

Michael Beckerle created DAFFODIL-1921:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: option to bypass Java 8 check
                 Key: DAFFODIL-1921
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1921
             Project: Daffodil
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Back End
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Michael Beckerle
             Fix For: 2.2.0


Currently Daffodil insists on Java 8+. It refuses to run on Java 7.

Some users need it to run on Java 7, and despite the possible charset decoder issues on decode errors in Java 7, they want to try it anyway.

So some mechanism for bypassing the Java 8 check should be put in place so that the check will not be done. I would suggest an undocumented "feature" for now, as we don't really know the implications of running on Java 7, and don't test there.
