Switching the default target at the JDK level is a no-go as it will break compatibility with upstream behaviour. Anyone else got any ideas as to how to approach this issue? Cheers James - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Default target Java for OpenJDK7 Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 09:20:57 +0000 From: James Page <james.p...@ubuntu.com> To: Matthias Klose <d...@ubuntu.com> Hi Matthias Saw your ping last night re backwards compatibility if/when we switch the default-jdk to openjdk-7. The same thought had crossed my mind as I started to work on the FTBFS list with openjdk-7. Here what I think the current state of the archive is with respect to this future problem: 1) Maven based packages; currently default to source/target 1.3 unless override in the package itself (and most do). 2) Ant based packages; default to whatever the JDK does unless explicitly set. 3) Javahelper based packages; source is set to 1.5 but target is left to the JDK. 4) Others; all sorts of pain I guess! There is alot of potential for stuff to get built that won't work on openjdk-6 so we need todo something; maybe we could default openjdk-7 to use target 1.5 by default rather than 1.7? I don't like doing that as it creates different behaviour on Ubuntu to upstream but we already did it with Maven2 (should be default of 1.5 not 1.3).
