Julien Viet resolved GTNPC-17.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
PC does not need Java 6 to work so it's reaonsable to keep it with Java 5.
produce a java6 build of the portlet container
----------------------------------------------
Key: GTNPC-17
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/GTNPC-17
Project: GateIn Portlet Container
Issue Type: Feature Request
Environment: cross-platform
Reporter: Chen Wang
It would be better to have a java 6 build with the coming GA release. A few reasons to
support the feature request:
A) Java 5 has already reached EOL and is currently in EOL transition period; My
impression is that organisations with apps built with Java 1.4 would rather go directly to
Java 6.
B) On top of those significant changes brought by Java 5, Java 6 carries changes in
XML/Web Services which may mean the portlet container can lose some dependencies such as
those apache xml libs and jaxb. (Of course I'd like to see concurrent.jar go as well
which is included in Java since 5)
I know it's not practical to ask everyone to use Java 6 but given that the portlet
container has based itself on Java >= 5, it would be better to have a Java6 build
release in addition to Java5 main build.
Hope this makes sense and thanks!
