Great question.
Currently we are concentrating on making Redline work without any
dependency on a specific version of the JVM. That being said we
probably only want to support V 1.4 or above.
InvokeDynamic and other features that are coming to the JVM represent
very useful features we want to take advantage of. However, we must
also ensure there is a "fallback" for running on a JVM without them.
In 24 months time if the use of the JVM with dynamic features out
numbers those without, then it is likely we will drop support for the
older versions of the JVM in favour of optimising for the future.
Does this answer your question?
Rgs, James.
