Setting up sbt to use Java 7 for compilation?

Question

I\'m getting compile errors when running the compile task as the sources reference new classes in java.nio.file package that only appeared in Java

Answer 1

I'm assuming you want to change whatever you have set in JAVA_HOME by default, which you can do when invoking sbt:

JAVA_HOME= sbt

This works for me on OSX with sbt 0.13.8
