I thought I would step through the latest trunk BUILDING.TXT
instructions because I haven't updated my sandbox for at least a month.
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on December 3 2011
Trying the default build file: build.xml
Buildfile: /home/brian/sandboxApache/tomcat8/trunk/build.xml
Detected Java version: 1.6 in: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/jre
Detected OS: Linux
compile:
[javac] Compiling 307 source files to

[javac] javac: invalid target release: 1.7
[javac] Usage: javac <options> <source files>
[javac] use -help for a list of possible options
BUILD FAILED
I wondered whether we still need to tell people how to get a JDK...
if they haven't got one already, and aren't familiar with building
complex projects, they probably shouldn't be encouraged to start
building tomcat from the trunk! In the end, I thought the best
compromise would be to just reference a couple of popular JDKs - we
don't want to seem partisan, but equally don't want to get dragged into
a debate about which is "best".
It might be helpful to list the JDKs that are used to build and test the
production releases, but I don't know what they are.
Here is the trivial change to avoid this kind of confusion for the moment!

I hope my contribution is both simple and helpful.
