Is it OK to build Hudson plugins for Java SE 7? [message #1708656] Fri, 18 September 2015 08:54 Go to next message

It is getting harder these days to build Java programs for Java SE 6 as it is phasing out. Even with the -source 1.6 and -target 1.6 options, it is not completely compatible to Java SE 6 unless Java SE 6 runtime is specified as the boot class path for Java SE 7 (or later) javac or compiled by Java SE 6 javac itself.

So is it now OK to build Hudson plugins for Java SE 7, then? In other words, how long should plugins support Java SE 6?

JDK 6 is not officially supported any more, it has security holes. That is the reason we mandated JDK 7 for Hudson 3.3.0. So it make sense to use JDK 7+ in new plugins meant for 3.3.0 and above.

How about new versions of existing plugins?

It depends on which version of Hudson you want to release it. As you can see here

http://hudson-ci.org/PluginCentral/

we have different update center for 2.x, 3.x, 3.2.x & 3.3.x. If you are releasing the plugin for 3.3.x then you can use JDK 7.x

As i already wrote, I have a problem in building Maven projects using Java SE 6 on Hudson 3.3.0. Do I need Hudson 3.2.x to build projects using Java SE 6?

You need JDK 7.x to run Hudson 3.3.0. Building your project using JDK 6.x should not be a problem, else it is a bug.
