I've built an Eclipse plug-in. Currently I have specified the minimum execution environment as JavaSE-1.7. This is the environment the plug-in has been written in.
Is there any way to determine the actual minimum version for my plug-in?

1Set the source compatibility level of the plugin projects to 1.6 and see if it blows up? But honestly, I don't think you can get Java 1.6 any more, so 1.7 seems a reasonable "minimum" to me. – tobias_k Jan 21 '15 at 19:40

1Unless you have actual older versions to compile against, you can't do anything but check every method call and double-check when it was added to the API. – nitind Jan 21 '15 at 20:10
