Has this something to do with an email from IBM in the last few days
asking me if I am really was the creator of my contributions?
Not that I made any mistake (I guess this was a mail to all commons-net
developers), but I was a little bit irritated.
Hmm. Sounds like it. Although I got no such email myself, I only saw
it on the PMC Mailing List.
Which is just as well. Because I have another issue. I don't
understand the maven.compile.target property. Working from the net
1.4.0 tag, I change only project.properties to set
maven.compile.target back to 1.2. Since there are a few places in
1.4.0 that depend on jdk 1.4, my expectation was that changing the
project properties would cause the compile to break on those places.
But it did not. It compiled successfully.
The jdk1.4 compiler creates a class file suitable to run under an
earlier JVM, this works as long as you do not use any new api. Then
you'll get the NoSuchMethod Exception.
Of course, we did use new APIs, so for the purpose I had in mind, this
property is useless.
This is the reason why we should use the least possible compiler and not
only the target attribute. You didnt notice if you use any new api call
at compile time.
I'll have to dig out a 1.3.1 compiler then. I don't even think 1.2.x is
available anymore.
