What was the exact question? Java is upward compatible, so the binary for Exec compiled on Java 5 will work on Java 6,7, etc. Indeed the source will probably compile without any need for changes on the same platforms. However, there does come a time when it becomes difficult to get hold of the earlier compilers. At which point it may be necessary to update the minimum compiler version in the Maven POM. In many cases, that should be sufficient; no need to update the source as well. Let's do the minimum work needed here, and exclude as Java versions as possible. > On Wed, 9 Oct 2019 at 14:12, Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi All, > > > > I'd like to update Commons Exec from Java 5 to 6 to get it to build on Java > > 11. > > > > Gary > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
