[gsoc] Project Proposal-ShrinkWrap Tasks

Tue Mar 4 16:47:14 EST 2014

OK, reading up.

Yes, the JAVA5_HOME variable is there and meant to enforce running the
tests in a JRE5 runtime.  The source must be build with a JDK6+
runtime.

Reasoning:

ShrinkWrap is stated as JRE5-compatible.  To ensure this is correct in
our development and releases, this means we actually have to test it
on JRE5.

We build on JDK6+ to get @Override annotations honored for methods
declared by interfaces, which was not available until the JDK6
compiler.
