RE: [Springframework-developer] Changes to build.xml to run autobuilds build on 1.5 as well

[Alef A. <al...@jt...>]

You're right, but I'll be adding support for running the unit tests on =
1.4 as well... I was first thinking about adding a simple master build =
script that executes the two builds (1.4 and 1.5) but the problem here =
is that the 'ant' task does not support forking of a new JVM and doing =
an 'exec' is not an option, since I want to preserve the log files. =
JUnit does support the fork (we're already doing it) and you can also =
specify a JVM to use.

About building (compiling), I thought the behavior when building on 1.5 =
in combination with adding the compatibility flag would be the same as =
with building on 1.4, wouldn't it?

Well, I don't object to such a property in general. But such a property =
only
makes sense if you intend to build the 1.4 version on JDK 1.5: I don't =
think
there's much point in that; building the 1.5 version only would be
sufficient then.

The capability of our build script to build on 1.4 is really just meant =
as a
fallback for users that want to do custom builds on their 1.4 JDK. The =
only
value we could add to the auto-builds is to check that building the 1.4
version actually works *on JDK 1.4*, which we can't check by building on =
JDK
1.5...

  If nobody objects, I'll be modifying the build file to include an =
extra
property that indicates whether or not you want to build on 1.5. I want =
to
have the autobuild build for both 1.5 and 1.4 but I can't get this to =
work
while maintaining the build numbers. To in addition to detecting the =
Java
version automatically, there will be a property you can specify when =
issuing
an Ant command.
