Re: [paho-dev] Raising the minimum Java level

[Dave Locke <locke@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As it stands today the Java client works
on Java 1.4.2 and with a few mods should also work on Java Micro Edition.
 Going forward there are some interesting discussions around how to
move forward with respect to version of Java.  One interesting area
to look at is around the announcements from Oracle at the backend of last
year around Java Embedded for both Java Standard edition and Java Micro
edition.  In addition there are a few things to weigh up including:

- MQTT is aimed at devices at the edge
of the network.  The Java on these is often backlevel (not updated
as frequently as other systems)
- JME is based on a back level JSE 
- but there are nice features in newer
JSE like NIO which could improve the client. 

In terms of tools that are built into
Eclipse moving to Java 1.6 makes a lot of sense. 


All the best 
Dave Locke

I assume that the IBM folks may want to support further
back - and they are of course free to do so in internal builds of the Paho
code for commercial distribution assuming API usages can be worked around
- but in the Java client and Eclipse View we should now be using Java 1.6
as a minimum baseline.

Once Dave commits the Java changes discussed on the call
yesterday and Marco has looked at the view I will check we're clean against
this one.
