how's this for consolidating yours and mine latest: This documentation references new JDBC 4.0 functionality that is not enabled in this Apache Derby 10.2 release because a final Java SE 6 release was not available when this release was produced. JDBC 3.0 will be available by default when used with a Java SE 6 virtual machine. JDBC 4.0 functionality will only be available to developers who download Java SE 6 themselves and with it build Derby's optional JDBC 4.0 support. Please see the Release Notes for details on how to build this optional JDBC 4.0 functionality. ***Please also note the licensing restrictions which limit your use of beta versions of Java SE 6. The beta JDK may only be used for evaluation purposes; the same restriction applies to Derby's JDBC 4.0 support when built using the beta version of Java SE 6.***
Can we move the portion I highlighted with *** into the release notes since developers will have to look at that info to understand how to build in jdbc 4? --I don't think we need to be in the business of educating users on the license in the reference guide pages I want to update. -jean Rick Hillegas wrote: > Hi Jean, > > This looks great.
