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.
Hm. I'm working with a 10.2.1.4 distribution built without JDBC4 classes
by the release generation machinery. I'm still seeing the compiler
problem on NetConnection when I run the update-with-jdbc4 script.
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.
