Re: [Logicmail-devel] JRE 4.2 for Eclipse? (Derek Konigsberg)

[Derek K. <dko...@lo...>]

The update site used to go all the way back to 4.2 :-)

You can probably just change the BlackBerry library version for the base 
library project ("LogicMail") from 4.2 to 4.5, and it should work fine.

At this point, I do often wonder what the minimum OS version requirement 
should be.  From download stats, we could probably just get away with 
bumping it up to 4.5.  But then again, its a bit too common that I run 
into someone with a junky old BB running 4.2 or 4.3, and would like to try 
running my app on it.

The only differences at the code level from 4.2 through 4.5 are minor 
nitpicky under-the-covers things (i.e. "how to check device OS version" 
and "how to query network coverage").  Availability of new user-level 
things I'd like to do (i.e. home screen message-count icons) don't enter 
the API until 4.6.
