@realtime a while ago we dropped support for Java 6. The latest CIDER version is definitely not supposed to work properly with it.

oh i mislead then. sorry

@richiardiandrea you can’t .dir-locals.el with non-file buffers, but this requires a bit of manual work - namely such buffer should invoke this function (hack-dir-local-variables-non-file-buffer)

i didn't know CIDER could be java specific

@bozhidar thanks, that is very helpful

@dpsutton make things rely on going all the way down to the host, so that’s pretty natural IMO

supporting Java 5 and Java 6 was major pain-point

same as supporting older Clojure releases

frankly, it’s beyond me why the Clojure team is still targeting Java 5, instead of embracing the innovation in the supported Java releases

after all 5 & 6 have reached their EOL a while ago

I didn't know they targeted Java that old

I also figured that if the Java version could run clojure then it was fine

Didn't know there were any Java specific things

agree, even aether (maven artifact resolved) dropped java 7 support

I guess there just isn't big reasons to drop support in Clojure core?

And there are parts in Clojure, like clojure.core.reducers that require Java 1.7 or 1.6 + backported ForkJoin library
