Hi guys,
Earlier today, Java6 compatibility was broken
(http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/9430/).
This was picked up on pretty quickly, and easily fixed
(http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/9666/).
However, I think this is a good opportunity to revisit our policy
towards Java 7.
Currently, we have an "odd" setup, where we recommend running a
compiling /with/ Java 7 [1] but comply to Java 6 language level
[2] and JDK [3].
Inevitably, mistakes like the that happened today will happen.
I know we're holding back due to GWT issues, but looking forward to
oVirt 4.0, is Java 7 on our roadmap?
what was the GWT issue?
GWT 2.3 that we use doesn't support java 7 syntax.
The latest version, 2.5, doesn't either.
I'm not sure, however, this is a good reason to enforce the java 6 limitation
on the entire project (including backed, rest, etc.)
i agree. you can limit it to the parts used by GWT for now.
