[ http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SHALE-285?page=comments#action_38238 ] Craig McClanahan commented on SHALE-285: ----------------------------------------
At this point, the important thing is to verify whether the resulting code actually works (the Tiger extensions rely on runtime analysis of annotations, so I'm very curious how the "retro" converters actually handle this). If it works, we'll want to ultimately use plugins for both shale-tiger itself, and for any application that wants to use these annotations but work on JDK 1.4. A good test case would be the shale-sql-browser app. In the short term, to do this kind of testing, a command line approach would be fine. > Test whether shale-tiger can be postprocessed for use on JDK 1.4 systems > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SHALE-285 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SHALE-285 > Project: Shale > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Tiger > Reporter: Craig McClanahan > > Several Apache projects have started using postprocessors like RetroWeaver > and RetroTranslater to take code that uses Java SE 5 syntax and semantics > (including annotations) and make it work on a JDK 1.4 JVM.
