Hi I would like to finalize version 3 of our parent POM.
In Rev. 1330389 I implemented FELIX-3486 as follows by defining properties for Java class file compliance and Java API use checking. I have set the defaults to.. * Java 1.3 for class file compliance * Java 1.3 API compatibility The goal is to create bundles, which are usable by the least requirements. I think we should stick to that goal, even though it is ever harder to attain ... Particularly, I am not sure any more about the Java API compatibility: Wouldn't it be better to use Java 1.4 as the default base line ? Second, for Java 5 support we basically have two options: * creating Java 5 class files not usable on pre-Java 5 VMs * creating Java 4 class files not usable on Java 7 and later VMs Me thinks, that we should have a guideline, that if a project uses Java 5 language features (Generics, for-loops, autoboxing), the default build should target Java 5 where custom builds can still set the felix.build.target to jsr14. WDYT ? Regards Felix
