Hey all,

I'm working on a plugin for a IntelliJ / AndroidStudio, I have a Java dependency that uses Java 7. When I compile & package my plugin with JDK7 and install it on the IDE
I get the following message: cannot create class "com.whatever.myplugin.actions.ActionName" [Plugin: com.whatever.myplugin]

Searching online revealed not so informative advice that "it must be compiled with JDK6.".

Would appreciate if anyone could elaborate on this.

Thanks.

What kind of elaboration do you want? IntelliJ IDEA on Mac OS X runs under JDK 6. Therefore, you cannot use any dependencies that require Java 7 in your plugin.
