> Project: Derby

> Components: Build tools
> Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0

>
> 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.
