Yeah, but is compiling (and unit tests) really any more effective against behavioural incompatibilities (which also occur from one patch JDK version to the next)? I think that dtests are always going to be the important defence here, and that we simplify it by running dtests on a standardised JDK compile. regards, Mick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cassandra.apache.org
