Yes, it is a mess of obfuscation in there, which is why I've never redone it myself :)

Re: the problem of building with 1.7 against a 1.8 JRE

This was a known issue with ECJ which they have since fixed ( https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=390889 ).  It would be addressed by rebasing AspectJ on the ECJ version containing the fix.  I will get to it soon.

cheers,

Andy

Correct

Thanks, this is not a show stopper for me anymore since I have set up
jenkins now to build with the right jdk depending on which project I
use.

Yeah, it's not my use case either, so I didn't push it. And anyway, there's probably a bug already opened against ECJ since it would mean the 1.7 compatibility mode doesn't work when running with JDK 8.
