 Description   

Question: Is there a way to change the JDK version being used by scalac?
On Ubuntu 12.10, JDK 7 | Scala version: 2.10.0 | Gradle 1.3
...
When I run build, don't get any errors but get the warning:
:compileScala
[ant:scalac] warning: -target:jvm-1.5 is deprecated: use target for Java 1.6 or above.
[ant:scalac] one warning found
...
build file has Scala dependencies as:
scalaTools 'org.scala-lang:scala-compiler:2.10.0'
compile 'org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.10.0'
...
gradle -v gives:
Gradle build time: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 11:37:38 AM UTC
Groovy: 1.8.6
Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.4 compiled on May 22 2012
Ivy: 2.2.0
JVM: 1.7.0_09 (Oracle Corporation 23.2-b09)
OS: Linux 3.5.0-21-generic amd64
...
Thank you for your help.

The Gradle ANT task for scalac doesn't appear to respect global targetCompatibility...I couldn't trace down the exact issue, but did come up with this workaround:

tasks.withType(ScalaCompile) {
scalaCompileOptions.additionalParameters = ['-target:jvm-1.6']
}

Until Scala 2.10, the `scalac` Ant task only supported `jvm-1.5` (and `msil`). Starting with Gradle 1.3 and Scala 2.10, `targetCompatibility` should take effect (otherwise it's a bug).

targetCompatibility is still not respected. tested on gradle 1.4 and scala 2.10

however, your hack works:

tasks.withType(ScalaCompile)

{ scalaCompileOptions.additionalParameters = ['-target:jvm-1.6'] }
