Building the SDK with Java 7
----------------------------
Key: FLEX-48
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-48
Project: Apache Flex
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Christophe Herreman
Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
I've changed the SDK a bit to be able to build it with Java 7. Everything seems
to compile, although that is no guarantee that things will actually work.
The main problem is the Batik dependency. The version used by the trunk version
is 1.6. When building with Java 7, this results in some compiler errors for
classes in the com.sun.* packages. So I've updated the build scripts to use
Batik version 1.7 (there is an option to NOT use the Sun classes in the build
file of that version) and resolved some more compilation issues (missing
dependency xml-apis-ext.jar, API changes in the dependencies).
Attached is a patch with the changes. Please try this out if you have a moment
and let me know if this works for you. These changes are compatible with Java
6, so when applying the patch you should still be able to build the SDK without
changing your Java installation.
