[Proxool-developer] Proxool 0.8.3, Hibernate 2.1.1 and JDK 1.2

[Bill H. <bi...@lo...>]

Hi all,

Hibernate 2.1.1 was released today and it includes Proxool 0.8.3 and the
latest Cglib code (2.0RC2, although I haven't checked that). This means
that Hibernate should be happily using Proxool again.

However, I didn't notice (silly me) that Cglib 2.0RC2 no longer compiles
with JDK 1.2. I have just made a patch to our version of this code (we
repackaged Cglib within Proxool in 0.8.3) so that it now does. This is
tagged in cvs as v-0-8-3-PATCH-JDK12.

I'm waiting to see what happens with Cglib and its progress towards 2.0
final before deciding whether to release Proxool 0.8.4. One of these
options, probably:

1) Cglib release 2.0 but it doesn't include the changes necessary for
JDK 1.2 - we contemplate releasing 0.8.4 with our patched copy of Cglib.

2) Cglib release 2.0 quite soon and it does compile under JDK 1.2 and we
release 0.8.4 soon after

3) Cglib don't release anything for a while and people start complaining
that Proxool doesn't compile under JDK 1.2 and we release 0.8.4 with our
patched copy of Cglib.

Cheers,
Bill
