[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3466) Hibernate cannot be built with JDK 1.4, nor with JDK 1.6

Hibernate cannot be built with JDK 1.4, nor with JDK 1.6 -------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3466 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3466 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: build Affects Versions: 3.3.0.SP1 Reporter: Andra Nedelcovici Assignee: Gail Badner Priority: Critical Despite the fact that Hibernate officially requires JRE 1.4 only, it cannot be built from sources using JDK 1.4. There is a restriction enforced in a Maven configuration file upon the building JDK version, namely at least 1.5 is required. Removing this restriction yields some JUnit test errors for JBoss cache. Conversely, Hibernate cannot be built with JDK 1.6 since JDBC 4.0 adds some new methods that Hibernate is not aware of and the compilation fails. The solution is: - not to build JBoss(2) cache when the building JDK is 1.4 (already missing Ant ?) - to account for the new methods introduced in JDBC 4.0 (even if they are not needed they must be implemented)
