> 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.
