Any automated build and reporting system would be valuable... just depends on the implementation as to whether it is useful or not.

The problem really is with me - I fess up. Bill's mad because I broke
the build twice this week by inadvertantly checking in code (throwing an

on 1.4. Unfortunately, my whole work and home environment *DO* require
1.4 and only works under 1.4 - so I sometimes forget to re-set my path
to JDK1.3 when I compile. So, it compiles fine under 1.4. I'm changing
my jboss build environment to force my path and JDK to 1.3 before it
runs. Maybe be can update the build.bat/.sh to automatically do this
(or at least check the version before you compile) and that would fix
this problem for everyone?

I don't think this is viable, since some features are simply going to be
supported only on jdk 1.4. The primary example is working/reasonable
transaction logging: I think non-blocking sockets versions of transport
will be another example.


I really think a reliable warning service is the way to go. I found Chris
Kimpton's compilation reports so unreliable I stopped paying attention to
them a long time ago. Are they useful to anyone?

I'd prefer to have a reliable way to report these problems, since I don't consider it realistic for me to develop on 1.3.1. How do you detect them?

For the particular problem of nested exceptions, I think we should
always use the jboss NestedThrowable stuff Jason wrote since it provides
a much more reasonable stack trace. Dain and I made as much as we could
find of the jca and jta frameworks use this with good results. How could
we make this better known and popularize it?


thanks

There have been a lot of build breakages lately because people are
using JDK 1.4 features and they break in JDK 1.3 builds.  WE STILL
SUPPORT JDK 1.3. My suggestion?  Stop developing JBOss with jdk 1.4
and develop with 1.3.

Please stop the sloppiness.
