Re: Multiple JDK versions

-1 on this. The JDK is *not* 100% backwards compatible. It's FORWARDS compatible yes, but not backwards. One case I know of is that certain String methods in JDK6 went from taking (String s) as an arg, to taking (CharSequence c) as arguments, if compiled against JDK6 -even if targetting 1.5 b

Re: Multiple JDK versions

Why do you need to compile with 2 versions? You can run apps compiled with 1.5 under 1.6. I am not sure that the value of JAVA_HOME has any effect on compiling. Check the settings in the compile plug-in. Ron On 25/06/2013 1:59 AM, virg g wrote: Hi, I need build my project with multiple jdk

Multiple JDK versions

Hi, I need build my project with multiple jdk versions 1.5 and 1.6. I am using maven compiler plugin to set the compiler based on JAVA_HOME set. Is it mandatory to set target either 1.5 or 1.6 based on the jdk version i want to build. Why because if i set compiler to jdk 1.6, in the debug log it

Hi, I want to compile my code with multiple JDK versions 1.4, 1.5, 1.6. I am using maven-compiler-plugin 3.0. i am changing ${JAVA_1_5_HOME}/bin/javac parameter in maven-compiler-plugin and also set source and target to 1.5. But my default JAVA_HOME is 1.6. The source is getting compiled with 1.5
