Downgrading JDK version

[qw19860616]

I'm using the server JDK version of 1.8. What do I need to do to make JDK1.7 be used in the server?

Install JDK1.7 and then set the Java environment variable by following these steps: https://stackhowto.com/how-to-set-th...in-windows-10/

I may not have expressed myself clearly. What I want to express is that I now support JDK1.8 but not 1.7 in GameServer. I need to lower the JDK version. What do I need to modify to change GameServer's support for 1.7?

Thank you for your answer.

Gotcha, so you have JDK 8 and want to upgrade the gameserver so it supports it?

Here's how I'd do it:

1. Update the build scripts(pom.xml or build.xml) to support 1.8.
2. Attempt to compile the gameserver, see what breaks.
3. Modify the code to support the new version.

I'd recommend trying this with the loginserver first as the code is smaller(still bloated, but smaller than the gameserver)

EDIT: This question hurts my brain, do you want to downgrade or upgrade the gameserver? Running JDK 7 will be fine for building the gameserver if the build.xml or pom.xml require 1.7, if you are wanting to build using a newer JDK, follow my steps explained above.

I want to lower the JDK version! ! ! !

I want to lower the JDK version! ! ! !

Why?

If your server requires JDK1.7, then use JDK1.7 (as per my original post)
If your server requires JDK1.8, then use JDK1.8

I honestly don't see the problem here.

If it's 1.7 use JDK 7, if it's 1.8 use JDK 8, if each server is different, use the highest version.
Refer to my linux server guide as I explain briefly how to find the version required.

My main problem is that when I start the server, it will prompt the performance degradation. I thought it was the JDK version! ! It depends on other problems. If you know how to solve them, please let me know. Thank you.

"it will prompt the performance degradation" Please explain in more detail. What is meant by prompt the performance degradation? Does the server slow down? Does the server not load? Do you receive an error? If you receive an error, what is the error?

There is no sence for downgrading source, at 8 version comes jvm optimization (5% I thought), lambda, optional, streams, functional interfaces, new timeApi, and maybe something forget )
