Yes, that’s pretty much it. I remember that some of the early Java
packages I added could not be built with icedtea-8. In those cases it
may be sufficient to set the compiler source version to 1.7 while still
using icedtea-8.
I’d be happy if you could give this a try in a new branch. Once we have
a branch we can build I’ll update the Cuirass specs on berlin.guixsd.org
to build the Java packages and their dependencies from the new branch.
Let’s base this on core-updates.
