How do I build latest AOSP?

After configuring the AOSP fully. I tried to build it using make -j4. But I got the below error:

============================================
PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME=REL
PLATFORM_VERSION=4.0.4
TARGET_PRODUCT=full
TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng
TARGET_BUILD_TYPE=release
TARGET_BUILD_APPS=
TARGET_ARCH=arm
TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT=armv7-a
HOST_ARCH=x86
HOST_OS=linux
HOST_BUILD_TYPE=release
BUILD_ID=IMM76
============================================
Checking build tools versions...
************************************************************
You are attempting to build with the incorrect version
of java.

Your version is: java version "1.7.0_55".
The correct version is: Java SE 1.6.

It is trying to build 4.0.4, not the Android-L. Thats why it is asking for Java 6, because java 6 is needed for building 4.0.4.

How do I build for Android-L which can be build with Java-7? I want to contribute to AOSP. For which I only need latest AOSP master branch to be build not the older versions.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

It looks like you init your manifest on the incorrect version of AOSP. See Downloading the Source for a good explanation of what you need to do to setup AOSP.

The main part from there that you want though, is: 

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1

Which would init your repository on AOSP version 4.0.1_r1. If you want to init on the l-preview branch, it would be:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b l-preview

Just keep in mind this isn't actually android l's source code, its a GPL update. I am not sure if they have moved it over to using java version 1.7 yet, as I have not personally tried.
