Re: [Cobertura-devel] Using jdk 1.3?

[Jeremy R. T. <je...@th...>]

To everyone's knowledge is that String.replacecAll(...) our only =
incompatibility with JDK less than 1.4?  If so, I'll just commit the =
StringUtil I had written originally so that we could avoid using =
String.replaceAll(...) and we'd be backward compatible.  I think that it =
is something we really should do, at least back to 1.3, but I'd prefer =
to see us work back to 1.2.  I think we have a lot better chance of =
increasing adoption by being compatible back to 1.2.

  I understand that completely. The situation here is a platform that =
requires us to use 1.3 --- and they are relying on some 1.3 class =
structures. For my purposes, the code coverage could be done completely =
with 1.4 (ignoring the 1 compiler error we get), so . I may end up doing =
some fiddling with the jdk versions.



  Let me see what I can do.

  FYI line 186 is a call to String.replaceAll(), which is new in jdk1.4.



  It might be possible to compile your classes with 1.3 (or use 1.4 and =
specify a 1.3 source and target), instrument your classes using 1.4, run =
your tests using 1.3, then generate the coverage reports using 1.4.  It =
seems like it would take some annoying fiddling with ant to get that to =
work correctly.



  The other option is to modify Cobertura to work with 1.3.  That's not =
something I'm against... I was just hoping we could avoid it.

    I have a project that requires jdk1.3. Is there any way to use =
Cobertura with 1.3? When I do, I consistently get the following =
exception:

    Alternatively, with multiple jdk's installed, is there any way I can =
specify a 1.3 compile for my source, and run Cobertura with 1.4 or 1.5?



    Thanks!
