hipchat-java Java 7 support?!

Many of us still uses Java 7, especially in old projects. Would be possible to make a Java 7 compatible jar?

+1. I sent the dev an email a few minutes ago with the same request

Will try to look into some good ways for doing this.

Hello, do you have any news regarding the compatibility with Java 7 ?

Unfortunately not much update yet. Since I am using lambda in the implementation, I am not able to compile it using Java 7. Still trying to see if there is a good way of doing that.

Thx @evanwong for your reply

As I see, the only use of lambda is for the ExecutorService. I might take a look and submit a PR if I find the time for it.

I actually found a good (seems to be) workaround using retrolambda. Tested it with Java7.

Gradle:

compile 'io.evanwong.oss:hipchat-java7:0.3.0'

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.evanwong.oss</groupId>
    <artifactId>hipchat-java7</artifactId>
    <version>0.3.0</version>
</dependency>
