Java 7 Compatibility #302

Closed bdw-g closed 6 months ago

bdw-g commented 11 months ago

Hi!

We're using fastutil internally and we have a few users that require Java 7 support (mainly for android applications).

Fastutil v8 is incompatible with Java 7 because it refers to various new interfaces in java.util.function, which were not present in java 7.

We'd like to contribute patches that would make the compilation of methods that require java 8+ conditional, so that we could compile a version of fastutil that doesn't require them.

Would you be open to such a set of patches? Thanks in advance!

Well, yes, if it's not too intrusive and it makes compilation for Java 7 conditional. Without options the code must come out as it is now.

bdw-g commented 11 months ago

Great, thank you. We will get back to you.

We're closing this issue because it has proven more complex than anticipated and because we no longer require this to perform our upgrade.

Thanks!
