Re: [ jEdit-devel ] Ant 1.9 is now required?

Actually it was decided to drop the support for 2 years end-of-life Java 7
and depend on Java 8 now, making it also possible to use Java 8 language
features in jEdit and plugins code.

So yes, Java 8 is required now.

This was also the cause for the needed upgrade of Ant, as the JDepend in
Ant before 1.9 was not compatible with the new bytecodes that were
introduced in Java 8.
