When did 1.5 specs creep in? I heard some talk about it, but I was not aware that the specs build JDK requirements had changed.

Yes, after building the specs with 1.5 I was able to continue to build everything else with 1.4.2. Sorry I forgot to post that info to this thread earlier.

Hi Joe, were you able to successfully build the remainder of trunk after getting the specs to build (with a 1.5 jdk) ?? Just wondering I should try the same if it'll help me get trunk built....

I suspect that nobody has reported this before because the java ee 5 specs were just moved into trunk last night by dblevins.

Do you have the latest source with these additional specs included?

It seems that all the specs do build correctly if I use 1.5 ... but I'm not sure if that will cause some other problems for the overall build (and it's kinda a pain to switch the jdk mid-stream for just one item in the overall build).

Dave, how are we supposed to handle building these at the moment?

Thanks,
Joe

I just did a fresh checkout and attempted to build specs via "bootstrap specs". I'm suspecting that the introduction of the EE 5 specs mean that we need to start building with JDK 1.5 (in which case failing a bootstrap for using JDK 1.5 would be a bad thing). However, I haven't dug into this error yet so it could be something completely different.


...

Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error:
javac: invalid target release: 1.5
Usage: javac <options> <source files>



That's yet another reason to whack bootstrap if it's not used heavily.
It seems it's not as noone's reported the issue before.

I could build Geronimo, OpenEJB 2 and Specs with no bootstrap and .m2 local repo and wonder whether we really need the bootstrap script yet?
