Summary: Installation subversion-javahlbindings failed → junit @4.6: error: Source option 1.5 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later.

The log says:

The junit port is very old and may just need to be updated. I tried to do that years ago and failed; see #27086. Maybe the situation has improved since then.
