Ussing passay with JDK 1.6 #29

Closed acevedodamian closed 9 years ago

acevedodamian commented 9 years ago

Hi guys, you've made a great job with this library , i'm using it for password validations and policies, and it's really useful. The problem is now i need to use it with JDK 1.6, ( customer requirement ) i've tried to compile with 1.6, but i got a lot of: "'<>' operator is not allowed for source level below 1.7" do you have any suggestion ?

keep up with the great work, regards Damian

We can't support a version for Java 1.6. I'm not even sure which features of Java 1.7 we're using, but it's not a terribly big project. Your best bet is to fork it and work through all the compile errors until you get a version that works.

Thanks. I did that, it wasn't hard , but it took time, you are using a lot of declarations like this ArrayList<>(); also a class called StandardCharsets, and some try catchs try-with-resources statements. Everything else worked fine.

thanks, Damian

If you can provide a link to your fork others may find it useful.
