[gatein-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (GTNPC-17) produce a java6 build of the portlet container

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!
