Building Eclair from source - java problem

I'm trying to build Eclair from source using instructions here:
http://source.android.com/download
And here:
http://source.android.com/documentation/building-for-dream
It does not build and java crashes out with an exception error:
Code:
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
target Java: VpnServices (out/target/common/obj/APPS/VpnServices_intermediates/classes)
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.5.0). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport) after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.

I am using java 1.5.0 as suggested on the AOSP site.
Code:
java -version
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)
My system is Ubuntu 9.10 32bit.
Are there any tips to get this working? Is this the best version of Java to use?

I was getting a ton of errors with 1.5, I started building with Java 1.6 but I had to stop it. It was definitely getting further.
I have also heard that if you use Java 1.6, you should first run a
Code:
make update-api
and then run
Code:
make

Android Studio requires Java 1.8 or above. Current JDK version 1.7

That's the error I get when I open Android Studio, except when I type javac -version in terminal, it says javac 1.8.0_101
.
What should I do?

[HOW-TO] Quick Guide on How to Compile Heimdall from Source in MacOS - OSX Yosemite

So, I was able to compile and flash my Galaxy J5 from my Mac OSX Yosemite command line, and I'd like to share the experience. I'm a beginner at flashing and the Android world, so I struggled to understand I did not need Odin for taking control over my Galaxy J5.
The following should work for most versions of OSX / MacOS, as long as you have a compiler installed. But I've only tested it in my Yosemite machine.
All binary packages for Heimdall did not work for me. I was getting a persistent "libusb error -7 whilst sending packet". So I decided to build everything from source and forget about Odin, JOdin3 and the like.
I already had a development environment setup in my Mac, with the stock Xcode cc compiler. So I can only relate the additional dependencies I had to install (+ GIT). But it could be that I had additional software that is required from my brew installed packages. At the end of the post I list all my brew installed packages just in case.
1) Make sure you have a compiler (Xcode dev tools) installed. This is standard Apple stuff. Just google "install xcode mac" for your Mac version.
2) Install Homebrew (url is brew.sh), and the following packages:
Code:
brew install git
brew install cmake
3) Build libusb from source
Code:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/libusb/libusb
cd libusb
./autogen.sh
make
cd /tmp
4) Build Heimdall
Code:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall
cd Heimdall/
cmake -DLIBUSB_LIBRARY=/tmp/libusb/libusb -DLIBUSB_INCLUDE_DIR=/tmp/libusb/libusb -DDISABLE_FRONTEND=1 .
make
5) If you had no errors in the previous make steps, run Heimdall. You ca print your PIT, flash, etc, from the command line and never use Odin AFAIK. Take your phone into "Download Mode" (Vol Down + Home + Power button from a powered down state). Then try the print-pit Heimdall command (which takes a few minutes to complete).
Code:
cd /tmp/Heimdall/bin
sudo ./heimdall print-pit --no-reboot
sudo ./heimdall flash --17 recovery.img
etc....
BTW, move both Heimdall and libusb directories out of /tmp/ if you intend to preserve them after your Mac reboots. Create something like /Users/[your_user]/build/ to keep it safe and replave all "/tmp/" dirs in the lines above with your destination directory.
Have fun!
=====================
The following is a list of all my brew-installed packages, just in case you're missing a dependency and not sure which package I had that could make this work in my machine.
Code:
~/dev/build/Heimdall$ brew list
android-sdk gifsicle id3lib meld redis
atk git imagemagick net-snmp ruby
autoconf glew jbig2dec netcat scala
automake glib jpeg nettle sdl2
