 ** Other changes
 Borrowed from HPPC: PR #5: OSGi descriptors in JAR manifests, bundle packaging. (Guillaume Delafosse)
 
+HPPCRT-XX: Modernize the build process notably using Retrolambda (https://github.com/orfjackal/retrolambda) to generate a unique Java 5 compatible Jar,
+which is fine since the API was the same between the 1.6 and 1.5 jars previously.
+As a contrast, building the HPPC-RT project now REQUIRES Java 8 due to Retrolambda.

 ** API-breaking changes
 HPPCRT-46: Remove CurstomHash and replace by equals/hashCode overrides in normal hash containers.

+The project as a whole requires Java 8, although the final runtime jar is still Java 5 compatible. To assure such 
 antiquated compatibility, some restrictions must be enforced:
 
-* hppcrt (sources) : Runtime sources either templates or hand-coded must use 1.5 API at best, while retaining the 1.6 compiler level for convenience. (ex. @Override allowed on subclasses AND interface implementations)  
-The strict 1.5 API compatibility is checked by the animal-sniffer plugin, before start building the runtime jars,
-then during the Jar generation phase the 'retrotranslator' generates a Java 5 Jar together with the Java 6 one. 
+* hppcrt (sources) : Runtime sources either templates or hand-coded must use 1.5 API at best, although the language constructs could be up to Java 8. (lambdas...)
+Then, the Retrolambda plugin translates Java 8 language constructs to 1.5 language ones, and finally
+the strict 1.5 API compatibility is checked by the animal-sniffer plugin before building the runtime jar.
 
-* hppcrt (tests): templates and hand-coded tests are allowed to be fully 1.6 compatible, including the API.
+* hppcrt (tests): templates and hand-coded tests are allowed to be fully 1.8 compatible, including the API.
 
-* hppcrt-template-processor: No particular restriction, the processor classes used for generate sources and tests are Java 7 level.
-* hppcrt-benchmarks: No particular restriction, they are Java 7 level.
+* hppcrt-template-processor: allowed to be fully Java 8 compatible, including the API.
