The published maven artifact doesn't support Java JDK 8

[bcoste]

The maven artifact org.hyperledger.sawtooth:sawtooth-sdk-java:v0.1.3 is compiled for Java JDK 11.

Could it be updated on maven server to support Java JDK 8 and later ?

The pom.xml has a profile for jdk8. If it is build with that one, the build will take care of the issue.

I understand but the fact is that the published maven central artifact has been built for Java JDK 11.
I'd like to use a maven central dependency with my Java 8 program.
Is it possible to update the artifact on maven central to have a JDK 8 version ?

This is an old issue, but at this point, we really should be thinking about moving beyond JDK11 and onto the building for JDK17. Which is the most recent LTS.
