It's not quite correct though. You can build with 1.5.0 or 1.6.0 but tell the java compiler to use the souce compatibility level of 1.4.x javac -source 1.4 ... Of course, if you do that, you cannot use the new language features of 1.5 (annotations, generics). >> 1.4.2 when it's build with 1.5.0. > > You could still install both on your system... Right. >> For my own, I can't switch to 1.5.0, there are a lot of SAP-servers (AIX >> and SUSE) at work I have to write Java modules and I also can't switch You can use the 1.5 (or 1.6) compiler and compile for 1.4.x (see above). >> to 1.5.0 on my knightsoft-net Webserver, it needs to much memory for >> the small vserver. The same bytecode uses more RAM when running with 1.5 than with 1.4 ? oO But still, I think having both is the better approach. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFCa7Ur3NMWliFcXcRAtVPAKC2w9CkteOrfa0yJLkPTn1HNh2mVwCfayRZ p/qL+zBtFeGmjFNAZd1CF+Q= =2Id8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
