--------------------------------------
I'm afraid I don't understand the workaround. It appears that John regenerated all of the jars from scratch.
I was doing that to "simulate" a 10.2.1.x bin-distribution, i.e. jars
without JDBC 4. Since my sources were out of sync with the non-JDBC jars
that were to be updated, the compiler complained.
If we're going to do that, then why are we writing this script in the first
place? Why don't we just tell the users:
1) Unzip the source distribution.
2) Point ant.properties at your JDK 6 installation.
3) Build Derby.
If it's as simple as that, why do we need another script?
Dan.
I think it was mainly so that users won't have to download ant, set it
up and do all the other things required by BUILDING.txt. See
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1846#action_12434544.
The scripts are very useful, but not strictly necessary. See the
description for DERBY-1846.
