+    * Fix a binary compatibility regression: XZ for Java 1.7 binaries
+      in the Maven Central require Java 9 which is too new. XZ for
+      Java 1.8 binaries require Java 5. (XZ for Java 1.6 and older
+      binaries require Java 1.4.)
+
+      If you are using OpenJDK 9 or later, you will need to edit the
+      "sourcever = 1.5" line in the file "build.properties" before
