src compile eclipse ide [message #272244]

Hi,

do we need jdk 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 all installed on our system to be able to
source compile eclipse ide classic platform src ? I have situation the
build not being able to find even String class and generates lots of
errors when trying to build on opensolaris 64bit on intel using jdk1.6
update 14. I assume it does 32 bit compile only as eclipse build args
does not give 64bit option but may be by default it will do it 64bit.

Regards,

Miten.

Is this with or without the Java IDE stuff/code? If so, 1.4 should be
sufficient.

Hi,

opensolaris does not have jdk 1.4 on its distro site. I have only 1.5 and
1.6. In the build.properties file that comes in srcIncluded src zip I set
jdk1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 related setting to point to same jdk1.6 instance jars.
I think I dont need to even set them as instructions mention that its
needed only if cross compiling. I started to add them since w/o that it
gave same errors. I think is has to do with java.security.cert packages
which in old jdk1.4 was actually javax and the eclipse src uses old javax.

I have also download the srcFetch zip. should it be helpful to resolve
the issue? I wonder though why amongst 10000 errors it also mentions
things like cannot find String class.

Regards,

Miten.
