The baseline is actually Java 6.  We use `javac --target 1.6` (see
JAVA_TARGET_VER in configure.ac) to generate code that is compatible
with the Java 6 JVM spec, and our source code must only use Java API
features that are present in Java 6 (though `javac --source 1.6 --target
1.6` apparently doesn't check that).

If we want to be fully compatible with Java 6, would it be possible to make

fail locally (even if we use Java 8+ locally) or on Jenkins so it wouldn't
have been pushed?
As I wrote, "though `javac --source 1.6 --target 1.6` apparently doesn't check that". So I guess to make such mistakes fail locally or for Gerrit/Jenkins, you would need to actually use Java 6 to build there.
