Can't build Java 7 on my Mac

[Andrew ``Bass'' Shcheglov]

Thank you Magnus.

The build errors I've encountered were coming from Objective-C code
behind Apple's LWAWT implementation,
particularly from functions dealing with HiDPI and multi-display support
(which rely on 10.7+-only API, see
https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory/issues/3).

>From the POSIX compatibility perspective, the JDK 7 build system is
completely fine (meaning an Xcode installation plus a few bits of
MacPorts would be more than enough).

So if I were on 10.5.x, I'd consider building an X11 Toolkit instead of
the Cocoa-based one in case the number of build errors grows too high.

As per JDK 8, you need a JDK 7 installed in order to build it, don't you?

Regards,
Andrey.
