-----------------------------------------
Summary: Documentation says Derby works with Java 1.4.2
Key: DERBY-5938
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5938
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 10.10.0.0
Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
The documentation says that Derby works with Java 1.4.2. This is not true on
trunk, as support for Java 1.4.2 is removed for Derby 10.10. A quick search
came up with these places that need change:
* Getting started guide:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/tgssetupverify.html
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/cgstutorialintro.html
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/tgssetupjavaenvir.html
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/cgsintsr.html
Need to change the above topics to say that you need JDK 1.5 or later installed
to run the examples.
* Developer's guide:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/rdevconcepts713.html
The cell for the combination Multi-User/Embedded mentions potential multi-boot
problems in pre-1.4 JVMs. Derby doesn't run on pre-1.4 JVMs anymore (and hasn't
done for a long time). However, the multi-boot problem is present on CDC/FP
1.1, which is still a supported platform, so maybe we should change "pre-1.4"
to "J2ME" (or however we usually refer to that platform in the docs).
* Admin guide:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/cadminappsthenetworkserverandjvms.html
Should say that the server is compatible with Java 5 and above.
* Tools guide:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/tools/ctools1003034.html
Although it's technically correct that the tools do run on Java 1.4, it's not
possible to access a Derby database with them on Java 1.4 in any supported way
(unsupported way: use derbytools.jar from 10.10 and derby.jar from 10.9). So we
should change this topic to say Java 5 and above, perhaps also mentioning
CDC/Foundation Profile 1.1.
