Is there a Java 7 to Java 6 converter?

Question

Android SDK requirements state that either JDK 5 or JDK 6 is required.

However, I have a Java class library written in Java 7 and I would like to use it for my Android project.

Instead of manually converting Java 7 to Java 6 by hand, I was wondering if anyone know of a converter that could do this job for me?

Or do we have to code one up from scratch?

Answer 1

Do you have the source for the JAR? If so, you can use the javac -target parameter set to either 5 or 6 to generate either Java 5 or 6 class files. See this page .
