how do I know if my code base has java 8 methods

Question

I am having some problems where AppEngine is complaining that my code has Java 1.8 methods, whereas AppEngine requires Java 1.7. Here is the error trace. I am not sure how to fix it.

Failed startup of context com.google.apphosting.utils.jetty.RuntimeAppEngineWebAppContext@6c5c4442{/,/base/data/home/apps/s~myapi-mobile/1.123456789034567}

Answer 1

该消息没有告诉你有Java8方法，它会告诉您的Java文件已用Java8编译器而执行环境是一个早期的Java版本编译。

Answer 2

To answer the actual question, you can attempt to compile your code using a Java 7 (or lower) compiler, and see what happens.

If the code compiles without issue, it's likely not using Java 8 methods (although that isn't necessary true, there could be Java 8 methods called using reflection).

If there are exceptions, you would have to inspect the exceptions to see their root cause.

If the errors report methods that don't obviously exist (eg the new collections/ streams API), or they report unrecognised syntax (eg using lambdas, () -> {} ), then you are likely using Java 8.
