What I mean is, when SUSE switches to build all the delivered java packages with java 1.5.0 without backwardcompatibility, they will not work with gcj or Sun's java 1.4.2, what (as I've understood) should be allready be part of the next release. > For your own code, just use -source 1.4 -target 1.4 Right, but when SUSE itselve doesn't do this, I will not be able to start a delivered tomcat, Eclipse, with 1.4.2 and all the libs (my /usr/share/java directory is full of jar files which are part of the SUSE distribution) wouldn't be useable with gcj or Sun's java 1.4.2. My hope is to get a *open* java for a *open*SUSE. I don't think Sun's java will be open in near future, it's a process starting with the next version, but will take a while, and maybe the wind changes inbetween. So I hope, gcj + classpath could replace Sun java, so we shouldn't build walls creating with getting incompatible jar-files. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
