[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-4499) Account for modules needing JDK 1.6

[Steve Ebersole (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4499?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=34811#action_34811 ] 

Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-4499:
-------------------------------------

Because Hibernate is built with JDK 1.5.  Period.

I am not going to go into all the reasons why one cannot use a later JDK than intended for the least common deployment environment w/o issue.

> Currently both the hibernate-infinispan and hibernate-jdb4-testing modules need JDK 1.6, whereas the rest of Hibernate needs to be built using JDK 1.5.  The solution is to fork both javac and surefire to pass in the JDK:
>             </plugin>
>                 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>                 <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
>                 <configuration>
>                     <executable>${jdk16_home}/bin/javac</executable>
>                     <fork>true</fork>
>                     <verbose>true</verbose>
>                     <compilerVersion>1.6</compilerVersion>
>                     <source>1.6</source>
>                     <target>1.6</target>
>                 </configuration>
>             </plugin>
>             <plugin>
>                 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>                 <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
>                 <configuration>
>                     <jvm>${jdk16_home}/bin/java</jvm>
>                     ...
>                 </configuration>
>             </plugin>
> Notice the use of the jdk16_home property to allow this to be customized to each developers machine...
