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

[Andra Nedelcovici (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3466?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31114#action_31114 ] 

Andra Nedelcovici commented on HHH-3466:
----------------------------------------

Where it is written that HIbernate must be built with JDK 1.5? Officially, Hibernate requires JRE 1.4. Why should 1.5 be necessary for building?

Moreover, this bug duplicates HHH-2412 only partially.

> 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)
