Simplify PropertySetter so that it is less brittle and easier to maintain.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-5485
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5485
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build tools
Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
The PropertySetter task sets up classpath variables so that the build can take
advantage of JVM-specific class libraries. Using those libraries makes it
possible for the compiler to flag code which is supposed to run on less capable
platforms but which calls methods from later JVMs. This is a very tricky
problem and we seem to have reached consensus that it requires too much effort
to make PropertySetter run correctly in all of the build environments which
Derby developers use. I will attach a proposal for how to simplify
PropertySetter so that it requires less effort to maintain.
