Re: [Engine-devel] java 1.6 compatibility no more?
As I previously emailed - JDK7 already fixed a known issue with ldap
and
DNS ,and made one of my patches at gerrit redundant.
Why not enjoy the bug fixes?
I agree, but in that case, why not switch to '1.7' Java source/target compliance
for oVirt Maven build as well?
If JDK6 cannot be used for building oVirt (because of missing Java 7 APIs, because of
LDAP/DNS issues in JDK6, etc.), we should also update our Maven POM files. Currently, when
I import oVirt projects into Eclipse (using Eclipse Maven plugin), I'm getting compile
errors on 'bll' project. This is because our Maven POM files declare '1.6'
Java source/target compliance.
Juan - you are right, but for me, it sounds quite strange to have '1.6' Java
source/target compliance for Maven build, and use JDK7 to do the build.

These maven settings just tell the java compiler to accept Java 6 syntax
only and to generate a Java 6 compatible .class file format, but they
don't restrict the set of APIs that can be used.
