Re: [Engine-devel] java 1.6 compatibility no more?
In fact, for both backend and frontend, Maven effective POM contains:
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
Therefore, according to Maven POM files, oVirt should be build-able using Java 6, but
it's not. (?)
The problem is in backend/manager/modules/bll: StorageDomainCommandBase class uses new
Java 7 Long.compare() static method.
I think we should decide if we want to be compliant with Java 7, or submit a patch that
uses Java 6 API (Long.compareTo instance method).

Subject: java 1.6 compatibility no more?
Hi,
It may be a historic moment, but for a few hours oVirt engine is no longer building on
java 1.6.
Is this intentional?
