Did something change with Travis CI recently? I'm getting the error: ```

170645 01:41 [zinc] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: xsbti/CompileFailed : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

```

Which seems to say we're compiling with java 6 but we're trying to use a Java 7 jar

Here is the PR https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/4106 and the build https://travis-ci.org/pantsbuild/pants/builds/180457123

@brash-oxygen-26029 : hm, no that shouldn't have changed in travis recently.

the branch isn't based on something older, is it? either way, travis merges from master before running, i thought..

The branch should be off of the latest master. ```

commit 5723bd61e1c80cda77c438420bd7f252f0f04a00 Author: Chris Heisterkamp <cheister@squareup.com> Date: Thu Dec 1 105647 2016 -0800 Don't exit with number of failures because Java will mod 256 the exit code so System.exit(512) == System.exit(256) == System.exit(0) commit e96947877c294d2134051351186416d9b9c42c22 Author: John Sirois <john.sirois@gmail.com> Date: Tue Nov 29 090922 2016 -0500 Add a native engine release check. (#4096) This adds a check for an already released set of native engine binaries as a pre-requisite to running a pants release as well as exposing an option to run the check on its own.

```

Just pushed a change to the branch so we can see if it's still happening

Hmm, so now it builds with java 8, but there is another failure ```

seems that there’s something funky going on in travis

```

lol

mighty specific

I don’t suppose there’s a straightforward way to pass a

[DEFAULT]

section flag as cli arg?

i suppose not

anyone know what’s up with https://travis-ci.org/pantsbuild/pants/jobs/180473033#L3864 ?

seems to be impacting a bunch of misc travis runs

wonder if this is a travis environment default encoding thing

thx

so

I’m loving the new github workflow as well as the extra travis capacity. huge wins as far as I’m concerned and definitely helps streamline development all around. kudos again to everyone who helped get to current state!
