Re: Real meaning of javac target/source attributes

2006-02-16 Thread Jeffrey E Care
Your assumptions are incorrect; @target & @source have to do with language features and class file formats, not APIs. The only 100% safe way I know of to make sure you aren't using improper APIs is to make sure you are compiling against the class library from the *lowest common denominator* JDK

Real meaning of javac target/source attributes

2006-02-16 Thread Matthew Hughes
It was my understanding that the target/source attributes in the javac task forced the compiled classes to be compatible with old versions. What I also assumed was that it wouldn't let me compile something if I was using an API that was newer than the 'target' attribute. For example, my task

IMHO. I don't think it is a matter of whether the second mkdir "completed" or not here. As Jan said, mkdir has the responsibility to make sure the directory exists when it ends. In the case of the first mkdir, the directory had to be created so mkdir said it did it. In the case of the second mkdir,

There is the task, which only works on Unix systems (IIRC it works to a slight degree on Cygwin but I wouldn't recommend it). calls the ln executable, but be sure to read the manual and experiment thoroughly if you choose to use this task as its behavior is a little special and seems to give use
