[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9806] Build failures on macOS via Homebrew due to 1.6 argument to -source and -target

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #9806 (project octave):

I think this might be a reasonable fix for the stable branch, to make it part
of the 5.2.0 release. Java 6 just died in December 2018, we probably should
have caught this before pushing 5.1. But I would rather bump the version to 8
instead of 7, since Java 8 is an LTS release supported until 2025. We should
make sure dropping Java 6 and 7 won't break any supported systems if we're
going to make this change on the stable branch.
