Installing Older Version of Atlas-SDK on OSX

[Victor Sz]

I'm looking at doing some plugin development on an older version of Bamboo (5.6). As I found out in another post -- Bamboo 5.6 will NOT work with Java 1.8.

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bamboo-questions/Atlas-run-AnnotationAwareAspectJAutoProxyCreator-is-only/

No problem, I installed Java 7 along side 8 on my Mac.  

The issue that I'm encoutering now, is that the current version of the SDK explicitly seems to require Java 8.

[ERROR] API incompatibility: org.codehaus.plexus.component.repository.exception.ComponentLookupException: com/atlassian/maven/plugins/ampsdispatcher/AmpsDispatcherRunMojo : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

So the question is how to I install an older version of the SDK that doesn't require 1.8?

Note that using *brew search* i've been unable to identify older versions to download and install.
