Use Continuous Integration and a test suite.
That's what we do here, too. We use profiles that are auto-activated
by the JDK type and have modules declarations only inside the
profiles. WE evaluated going through the hassle of specifying the RT
jar etc but in the end decided that it wouldn't be worthwhile so we
just use -source and -target to bulid.
Our CI server has two build plans: one for regular JDK5 builds (that
runs on a JDK5) and on that runs nightly (on a JDK1.4) ensuring JDK1.4
source compatability for the modules that require it.
Even greater care must be taken now when managing the dependecies:
does any module bring in JDK5 compatible third party deps in? Do JDK14
modules depend on JDK5 modules?
Cross-JDK builds are doable with Maven, is's just another pile of
complexity on top of what you're already having to deal with.
-dirk
So, can we consider that a successfull build using a 1.4 JDK + "source"
and "target" in build are enough to guarantee that none of the
transitive dependencies require jre 5 or higher?
