We've backtracked some on OPENJPA-1520 and no longer require Java SE 6 or later to use OpenJPA, but instead only require using Java SE 6 to build the artifacts which are still targeted to a 1.5 source/runtime level (even though some of the annotation support requires Java SE 6.)
The junits can be built and run using Java SE 5, by using the new -Ptest-java5 profile which we are using during the nightly builds to verify that the Java SE 6 built artifacts still pass all junits when using Derby and either the Sun or IBM 1.5 JVMs. The above changes will be in the openjpa-2.0.0-beta2, which will go up for a release vote later today. -Donald On 2/18/10 10:55 PM, Donald Woods wrote: > As part of OPENJPA-1520, we are upgrading our trunk builds to require > Java SE 6 to compile and for runtime.
