[Babeldoc-devel] JDK 1.3.x Compatibility

[<ek...@ba...>]

Bruce,

I have downloaded the three programs you have modified since I have
shown interest in Babeldoc (LogService.java, ConfigService.java, and
XslTransformPipelineStage.java).  This morning I attempted to do an ant
build using my JDK 1.3.1 compiler (and the programs listed above) and
received the following compiler errors:


D:\Program Files\babeldoc\src>build
Buildfile: build.xml

declare:

     [echo] Build order: core babelfish conversion crypto sql scanner

    [javac] D:\Program
Files\babeldoc\src\modules\core\src\com\babeldoc\core\LogService.java:28:

    [javac] symbol  : class StackTraceElement
    [javac] location: package lang
    [javac] import java.lang.StackTraceElement;
    [javac]                  ^


This is simple ... we just need to comment out the "import" statement in
LogService.java


    [javac] D:\Program
Files\babeldoc\src\modules\core\src\com\babeldoc\core\pipeline\stage\JavaXmlDecoderPipelineStage.java:28:

cannot resolve symbol
    [javac] symbol  : class XMLDecoder
    [javac] location: package beans
    [javac] import java.beans.XMLDecoder;
    [javac]                   ^


I'm not sure how to handle this ... this class does not exist in the
java.beans package in JDK 1.3.1.  Do you know if this came from a
"previously optional" Jar, such as JAXP that I could put in the
classpath?  I looked through the JAXP and JAXB Jars (the best I could
find) and did not see this class in either one.  Any ideas?


    [javac] D:\Program
Files\babeldoc\src\modules\core\src\com\babeldoc\core\I18n.java:133:
MessageFormat(java.lang.String,java.util.Locale) has private acces
s in java.text.MessageFormat
    [javac]     format = new MessageFormat(escape(formatString),
locale);
    [javac]              ^


This constructor does not exist in the JDK 1.3.1.  Rather, I believe
this can be implemented as:
format = new MessageFormat(escape(formatString));
format.setLocale(locale);

Any objection?

    [javac]                          ^


This static method does not exist in JDK 1.3.1.  My workaround for it
is:
(Boolean.valueOf(binary)).toString();

Any objection?
