Description Sven Gothel 2025-07-22 04:11:20 CEST 
We stick w/ Java 8 (class file 52), contrary to earlier statement in Bug 1512.

Our source must stay in the Java8 compatible API realm,
until until using a minimum of Android API 32 (Version 12).
Today, this would drop a lot of devices .. purely academical ofc :)
See Bug 1520 comment 4.

We shall use the '--release 8' of 'javac'
to ensure API Java8 compatibility until moving 
to Java11 in concert w/ Android API 32.
