[jboss-dev] Jdk1.4 vs jdk5

Thursday, 11 January 2007

With the switch to jdk5 for JBossAS 4.2 we are seeing more cases where
jdk5 dependencies propagate, e.g.

jboss-test-1.0.0.GA build using 1.5 target -> jbossxb 1.0.0.CR8 ->
jbossws 1.2.0.CR2 -> jbossAS.

So jbossAS with jdk1.4 testsuite runs are bound to fail, plus I presume
we'll be start having problems with the compatibility runs, e.g.

Jboss 4.0.x (jdk14) against JBoss 4.2.x (jdk15)

Jdk15 targeted jars won't be accepted on the 1.4 side.

How we want to deal with this?
