Seems like I’ll need to switch JDK versions within the CI pipeline (compile first with JDK 1.8 then test with JDK 1.7).

hhandoko: You can specify JVM to run maven surefire plugin with, use forkMode and jvm configuration properties, like here: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/1.1.2/libraries/stdlib/jre7/pom.xml#L97

Oh, what does that do? I thought forkMode is JVM forking for parallel test execution.

[hhandoko]

Silly me, switching JDK won’t work… I had another look at forkMode, but it raises another question. Is this simply running the test using JDK 1.7 (as it is seen on the env variable)?

[ilya.gorbunov]

forkMode specifies that a new JVM process must be forked to run tests, and jvm specifies which JVM to use.
