Need to link a plugin against Java 1.4 [message #641916]

Hello,

sadly, I have the need to link one of our plugins against the rt.jar of
Java 1.4. Is there a way with Tycho to do this?

I tried to configure the maven-osgi-compiler-plugin like in the snippet
below... without success. I tried it via the plugin and via the parent pom.

<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-osgi-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.10.0</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.4</source>
<target>1.4</target>
<fork>true</fork>

<executable>D:\bin\java\x86\j2sdk1.4.2_12\bin\javac.exe</executable >
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>

Kind regards,
Bernd Vogt

you picked the wrong groupId.

It should be org.sonatype.tycho (since tycho 0.6.0)

Apart from that your configuration should be OK.

Thanks for the hint! Unfortunately, this leads to the next problem:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.sonatype.tycho:maven-osgi-compiler-plugin:0.10.0:compile
(default-compile) on project de.visualrules.runtime: Fatal error
compiling: compileoutOfProcess not supported -> [Help 1]

A short code review has confirmed that Tycho 0.10.0 (JDT compiler mojo)
doesn't support forking.

As a workaround I have tried to configure the maven-osgi-compiler-plugin
in a way that it uses the javac compiler from the maven-compiler-plugin.
With the result that javac couldn't resolve any class from my dependencies.

Is there any way to tell the maven-osgi-compiler-plugin against which
rt.jar he has to compile?

In PDE build I have to map specific jars to an execution environment:

J2SE-1.4=/home/var/j2sdk1.4.2_19/jre/lib/rt.jar
J2SE-1.5=/home/var/jdk1.5.0_22/jre/lib/rt.jar
JavaSE-1.6=/home/var/jdk1.6.0_18/jre/lib/rt.jar

Kind regards,
Bernd

I got it! Configuring the bootclasspath argument of the JDT compiler
does the trick:

<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.sonatype.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-osgi-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${tychoVersion}</version>
<configuration>
<compilerId>jdt</compilerId>
<compilerArguments>

<bootclasspath>D:\bin\java\x86\j2sdk1.4.2_12\jre\lib\rt.jar </bootclasspath>
</compilerArguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
