Hm.. While WAS 6.1 is still certainly still an IBM-supported version, I can certainly feel your JDK version pain there, Chris.
Just out of curiosity - would you claim that the motives for staying on such an old application server version would be motivated more by economy than technology? Or are there technological reasons why your organisation (and, therefore, likely others in the 0.0001% league) cannot move to a newer version of the application server supporting a newer JDK standard? There is always the delicate balance between upgrading minimum (JDK/lib) requirements to enable nice/productive features versus staying on an elder version for compatibility reasons. Personally, I wouldn't claim Maven to be overly progressive in its minimum JDK requirements... 2013/11/12 Chris Graham <[email protected]> > Um, yes, me! :-) > > Seriously we are still stuck on Java 1.5/WAS 6.1/COBOL for at least > another year.
