[xstream-user] Using XStream 1.4.8 in android 4.4 fails.

[Bruce Link]

I believe that xStream being compiled against Java 8 removes the ability
for XStream to be used as a drop in module in android 4.4.

When I use 1.4.8 in eclipse as a module for my Android 4.4 project, I
receive a compile error along the lines of:

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dx.cf.iface.ParseException:
bad class file magic (cafebabe) or version (0034.0000)

Which I understand is due to an incompatible JDK version see:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24795161/how-to-use-a-java-8-library-with-android

This error does not appear when using version 1.4.7.

My apologies if this is a known issue already, I did my best to review
the mailing list and bug tracker.

I was unaware of Android not supporting Java 8. However, you can simply
remove the class files for the LambdaConverter and the LambdaMapper from the
archive. They are only used with a Java 8 runtime.

Cheers,
Jörg
