[Geotools-devel] Switching to Java 6

2009-11-04 Thread Andrea Aime
Hi all, with this mail I'm trying to start discussion on this controversial subject: shall we switch to Java 6 as the minimum requirement for GeoTools (and GeoServer/uDig?). Pros for Java 6 - we can use more up to date API - most developers nowadays have it installed - Sun is ending support for

Although I'm new on this list, but I wouldn't mind seeing GeoTools make the switch to Java6 over time. I would assume IBM is working hard on getting this up and running, so +1 from me. Andrea Aime schreef: Hi all, with this mail I'm trying to start discussion on this controversial subject:

Hi Andrea, Regarding Macs, Java 6 was available in OSX 10.5 (Leopard) but only worked with 64 bit machines. Those with older hardware (like me) have to upgrade to 10.6 (Cold Cat as Jody calls it) to be able to run Java 6 on our 32 bit machines. I haven't done this yet because there seemed to be

I think that switching to Java 6 would be okay for 2.7 series; +1 - Same goes for OSX? I think that people are forced to pay    the Apple tax in order to get a working Java 6?    (aka upgrade to snow leopard?) That is correct. Jody

-1 from my side for the geoserver base (2.6). The most common Websphere installations are 6.x based on Java 5. Is there a point in time where we plan to use 2.7.x for geoserver ? We should support at at least 2 java versions, so I would wait until the first app servers use java 7. At this

I think you dont overstate the problem. A quick look on the ibm donload page http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/index.html?S_TACT=105AGX02S_CMP= HP shows the same problem. You get all versions for ix systems. but only the java runtime for windows. I remember that I tried to get an ibm
