I assume he was asking how do we make sure we do not add features in
the source code that would only compile with JDK7. From what I
recall, we specify the --source=1.5 option when compiling. So that
should take care of it in terms of language features. I think we
could technically still use new methods from the runtime libraries
without being flagged with an error, but that is really unlikely in
our codebase.
