Category: None Group: None Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jeff Jensen (jeffjensen) Assigned to: Jeff Jensen (jeffjensen) Summary: Change build to use Java 6 compiler but still target 1.4 Initial Comment: Currently is 1.4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jeff Jensen (jeffjensen) Date: 2012-10-16 08:36 Message: Good question. I'm thinking forward movement. My question is "How long to hang on to the unsupported 1.4?". The build still uses -source and -target of 1.4 which enables but does not guarantee 1.4 compat. I prefer to "modernize" for the benefits and handle any user complaints than continue hanging onto 1.4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Roberto Lo Giacco (rlogiacco) Date: 2012-10-16 06:02 Message: And what should be the benefit for this? Projects still using Java 1.4 will not be able to update to this version because of incompatibility class version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Jensen (jeffjensen) Date: 2012-09-29 14:26 Message: Commit 3573007. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Jensen (jeffjensen) Date: 2012-09-29 09:10 Message: I have been building and using dbUnit for past few years with Java 6, and source and target values of 1.4. I am not aware of anything anything technically/code-wise forcing us to stay with Java 1.4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=449494&aid=3573007&group_id=47439 |
