Replace or remove java 6 module #16

Closed MiniDigger closed 5 years ago

MiniDigger commented 5 years ago

See https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/2179

java 12 dropped support for java 6, so its not possible to compile paperclip with java 12+. two options: either that module can be remove or should be bumped up to 7.

But muh legacy???

I think that's fine, most of the modern OS-es don't even offer Java 6 easily afaik.

MiniDigger commented 5 years ago

@mikroskeem, the only point of that module is to yell at ppl to install Java 8+ 😂 So if they manage to install Java 6 and we dropped that module, they get an obscure error message instead.

There’s a PR for this at GH-15

Will probably fast track that this weekend and get paper repos updated with a newer version
