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

dpsutton12:03:31

oh i mislead then. sorry

bozhidar12:03:10

@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)

dpsutton12:03:35

i didn't know CIDER could be java specific

richiardiandrea18:03:31

@bozhidar thanks, that is very helpful

bozhidar18:03:22

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

bozhidar18:03:40

supporting Java 5 and Java 6 was major pain-point

bozhidar18:03:50

same as supporting older Clojure releases

bozhidar18:03:38

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

bozhidar18:03:51

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

dpsutton18:03:12

I didn't know they targeted Java that old

dpsutton18:03:57

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

dpsutton18:03:09

Didn't know there were any Java specific things

richiardiandrea19:03:11

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

juhoteperi19:03:52

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

juhoteperi19:03:54

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