BigDecimalFactory and BigIntegerFactory don't compile with java 1.5 source -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-537 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-537 Project: JBoss Rules Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: All Affects Versions: 3.1-m1 Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet Assigned To: Mark Proctor Priority: Minor jbossrules\drools-core\src\main\java\org\drools\base\evaluators\BigIntegerFactory.java and BigIntegerFactory.java won't compile in 1.5 source because BigDecimal isn't a 100% backwards compatible from java 1.5 to 1.4, due to them generifying it. The fix is easy: just add some casts, the JVM does this at runtime anyway. For example: final BigDecimal comp = (BigDecimal) extractor.getValue( object1 ); return comp.compareTo( object2.getValue() ) < 0; This code turns red in java source=1.5 in IntelliJ IDEA (and in Eclipse I would expect the same?) Turn it into: ... return comp.compareTo( (BigDecimal) object2.getValue() ) < 0; I didn't create a patch as it's fast to fix: just copy-paste (BigDecimal) in the 2 classes's use of the compareTo method. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
