[ecf-dev] Fwd: [p2-dev] Keep an eye on mixed mode projects 1.4/1.5 projects
|
For everyone's info see below (particularly releng).
We (ECF) are doing some of the same things that Thomas describes for
Equinox...i.e. compiling 1.5 code (i.e. with generics) down to
javacTarget of 1.4.
We should also watch out for any weirdnesses after this week's jdt
changes.

-------- Original Message --------
In Equinox/p2 we are using jsr14 to be able to compile 1.5 java
code to run on J2SE 1.4 VM. For the most part this has been
working well for us, but it has caused quite a few headaches for
the JDT team because now they are having to deal with cases where
1.4 and 1.5 projects are mixed together and cause interesting
issues for the compiler and reconciler. The JDT team is planning
to release several fixes for 1.4/1.5 "mixed" mode for this weeks
I-Build. For this weeks I-Build please keep an eye out for any
strange errors you may see in your projects that use jsr14 or any
projects that may depend on your projects that use jsr14. I
recommend you perform a clean build of your workspaces to make
sure they continue to build correctly once you upgrade to this
weeks I-Build.
Below are a couple of examples of bugs that we uncovered last
week:
