GitHub describes it as A gradle plugin for getting java lambda support in java 6, 7 and android. The repository metadata lists Java as its primary language. The metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license. The README describes the project this way: This plugin will automatically build your java or android project with retrolambda, giving you lambda goodness on java 6 or 7. It relies on the wonderful retrolambda by Esko Luontola.

The README section "README details" states: The plugin will compile the source code with java8 and then replace the class files with the output of retrolambda.

The README section "README details" states: Configuration ------------- You can add a block like the following to configure the plugin:

The README section "README details" states: - javaVersion Set the java version to compile to. The default is 6. Only 5, 6 or 7 are accepted. - include 'Debug', 'Release' Sets which sets/variants to run through retrolambda. The default is all of them. - exclude 'Test' Sets which sets/variants to not run through retrolambda. Only one of either include or exclude should be defined. - jvmArgs Add additional jvm args when running retrolambda. - defaultMethods Turn on default and static methods in interfaces support. Note: due to a limitation in retrolamba, this will set incremental to false. The default is false. - incremental Setting this to false forces all of your class files to be run through retrolambda instead of only the ones that have changed. The default is true.
