[eclipselink-dev] Attention: Changes to build planned for next wee. WAS: (Re: Proposed changes to automated build - use of JDK 6)
|
Hello all,
Since no one responded to to this email earlier, it seems that nobody
cares about a compiler change
from JDK 1.5 to Jdk 1.6 (specifying a targeted vm of 1.5). However, I
wanted to give fair warning anyway.
I currently testing out this change, and am planning on making it
permanent next Wednesday (8/24).
This change will impact all branches nightly and continuous builds, but
Eclipse based builds not at all.
If you have any concerns let me know.
-Eric

As part of my work for bug 239832 <https://bugs.eclipse.org/239832> to
add DBWS to the automated build, I discovered
that the EclipseLink build environment is missing some things that
were previously available
in ADE. The Ant extension library 'ant-contrib' has a custom task
<PropertyRegex> that
performs regular-expression manipulations on Ant ${properties}.
However, Product Management does not want our build process to depend
upon custom Ant
tasks written by a third-party or ourselves. I tried a number of of
ways to solve the problem and
discussed this with Eric and it turns out that he has a related issue
- the built-in Ant logger/listener
is not producing the output Eric requires for the automated build
notifications. A custom Ant
logger task would solve this, but ...
After some investigation, we discovered that JDK 6 has a built-in
Javascript interpreter: no
third-party or custom code is required. When used in conjunction with
Ant's <scriptdef> task,
I was able to successfully build and test DBWS, and Eric will be able
to create a scripted solution
to his logger/listener problem.
All <javac> targets would specify that Java5 bytecodes are to be
produced, so we are not
'abandoning' existing Java5 customers.
We have discussed this with Peter and he sees no problems with this
... any issues/questions from
the rest of the Dev community?
