Description Robert Anderlik CLA 2021-06-30 06:03:58 EDT 
I have a legacy project, which must run with old java 1.6 compliance, since there is an old drools engine, which compiles business rules.

I've several junit 4 test cases, which must be startet with a jdk compliant to that, but this is no more possible since in eclipse 2021-6 a JDK version 52.0 is needed.

When starting with higher jdk the drools engine does not create 1.6 compliant code from rules, because using newer jdk, and finally business rules loading fails.

With Eclipse 2019-9 there is no problem with this project.

I suggest to compile junit 4 framework with compliance to 1.6 since I think this solves similar other problems with legacy jdk users.

Deciding to choose newer drools encgine and newer JDK will be to costy for this project.
