Hi All,After running into the jdk 1.5 building problem a couple of days ago and posting about it ;
http://www.nabble.com/fail-bootstrap-early-with-wrong-jdk-tf2265472.htmlI decided to dig into how far away we are from being able to build with J2SE 5. So I set out to give it a shot. And to my amazement everything just worked :-).
Of course 'everthing' does not include the bits that rely on the Sun ORB but the server fired up and I was able to poke around in the console.
Anyway here is what I did to get everything building with JDK 1.5; 1) checkout a fresh copy of a) https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/trunk b) https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/genesis/trunk c) https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/trunk2) delete all the geronimo stuff from my local m2 repo (rm -rf ~/.m2/ repository/org/apache/geronimo)
3) set my jdk to 1.5 4) build a) genesis b) specs c) remove the check for jdk 1.4 (patch attached) & build geronimo 5) start the server under 1.56) poke around - of course anything requiring the ORB will not work but the other stuff I tried worked, I poked around a bit with jconsole and the stuff running all looked 'normal' to me.
Thoughts? TTFN, -bd-
