javac: target release 7 conflicts with default source release 1.8
<p>I am playing with javac and I cant compile simple java class to 1.7 version.</p>

<pre><code>C:\Tests&gt;javac -target 7 GreetingsUniverse.java -nowarn
javac: target release 7 conflicts with default source release 1.8

C:\Tests&gt;javac -version
javac 1.8.0_73
</code></pre>

<p>What could be the reason?</p>
