http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20699 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-08-24 11:36 ------- We stay with the original defaults for rmic for the same reason we dont enable the java1.5 language options on javac in Jaa1.5 - minimising the risk of shared build files breaking. If you write a project on java1.4, publish it and someone running java1.5 downloads and tries to rebuild your app, you dont want to end up fielding support calls saying "enum is now a reserved word" or "rmic doesnt generate stubs". you want to know that your build file works consistently across platforms, and that is what we deliver. Sun appear to have different goals, or a different view of the world; one of little self-contained projects where the developer/dev team can all move up to a new java version simultaneously. They also still think people build using the command line tools, not via IDE or ant/maven. Accordingly, sometimes they change things that they think are "best" for their imagined customer. We, with a focus more on consistency and backwards compability, have to change them back. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
