Milan now pointed out that Satellite will likely be able to use 1.6.0 from IBM. So unless you do something Open JDK-specific, you should be safe with Java 6. -- Jan Pazdziora Satellite Engineering, Red Hat ___ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel

Thanks Jan :)... Changed my project settings to Java 5 :) Jan Pazdziora wrote: On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 02:55:11AM -0400, Partha Aji wrote: Recently I caused a couple of compile errors on Spacewalk...

You want to be able to compile the thing with 1.5.0 and not rely on 1.6.0 because there is no s390x version of EPEL 5.

You want to be able to compile the thing with 1.5.0 and not rely on 1.6.0 because there is no s390x version of EPEL 5. If you mandate the use of 1.6.0, you will make it harder for Red Hat when they decide to build Satellite out of Spacewalk. -- Jan Pazdziora | adelton at #satellite*, #brno Satellite Engineering, Red Hat ___ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
[Spacewalk-devel] Java 6 or Java 5? for spacewalk
Recently I caused a couple of compile errors on Spacewalk... Basically my eclipse project has the compiler setting = Java 6. As a side effect of this when I have a class implement an interface the @Override tag gets inserted automatically.. Now this is perfectly good for java 6 or open jdk, but java 5 it breaks :(. Considering that we are shipping our current jars using stuff compiled with open jdk, is there any point in ensuring compatibility with java 5?...
