I realize this isn't 100% relevant yet, but I'm very curious about this. In JDK8, javac parameters "source" and "target" are deprecated, and will be removed in JDK9. As a JavaME developer, I'm wondering how then I'll be able to target older platforms. For example, I'm using target 1.3 when developing for Blu-ray. How do I compile my Xlets for Blu-ray when JDK9 is out if there's no "target" option? I imagine there must also be other (although we can agree not a lot) people out there still needing to target older devices. What do we do when JDK9 is out?
EDIT: Is it even possible to target 1.3 with JDK9?
