I'm trying to build Tomcat 5.5.15 using the IBM 1.5 JDK.

Why? Because I'm working with a user that wants to run with the IBM 1.5 JDK in production. They want to build Tomcat with the IBM JDK for 2 reasons: 1) To ensure that they can build if they have to fix/change something (and this is their JDK of choice). 2) To preempt any potential runtime problems with missing classes in the JVM by catching and fixing them at build time rather than runtime.

I'm having problems building JSSE13SocketFactory because of references to SUN-SPECIFIC classes in packages like com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.*

Am I correct in understanding that this class only exists for compatibility with 1.3 JVMs and will never be executed in a 1.5 JVM? If so, then that should address #2 above (we'll never execute the class. I could then address #1 by either changing the class or possibly even removing it and all references.

Have other folks built Tomcat using JDKs other than Sun's? How do you work around problems like this?

Thanks for the help!
Joe
