RF-4.5 compliment to JDK7 while WFK-2.7 must be compliment to JDK6 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: RF-13781 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-13781 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: build/distribution Affects Versions: 4.5.0.Alpha3 Reporter: Pavel Slegr Fix For: 4.5.0.Beta2 while building on RF-4.5 I found out there are used JDK7 features for example here: https://github.com/richfaces/richfaces/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org... (diamond operator) RichFaces-4.5 are not able to build with JDK6, while as one of the components of WFK-27 we would need to build them with JDK6 WFK-2.7 will be based on EAP-6.3.0 which is based on JDK6 as well There are 2 possible solutions 1. We will go over the upstream code and remove all the JDK7 related code, which I have no idea, how much this would be. 2. We will make it in productization branch only, which is not very wise due to future maintenance of WFK-27 and RF-45 following and is exactly the opposite way we try to accomplish (get the product & upstream close as much as possible) Please note, I am not able to crosscompile from 1.7 source into 1.6 target bytecode... this is not allowed (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javac.html) cloned from https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFK2-735
