Hi,
Please make sure "target=1.3" is present in all javac tasks :-)
Shouldn't we support only JRE 1.4 and 5.0 instead ? I would be able to
I'm also not big on JDK 1.3 as the default target. I'm +0 on adding a "javaTarget" build.properties attribute that users can set to "1.3" but whose default value is 1.4, 1.5, or none, but not 1.3. I haven't seen a question on tomcat-user with someone running JDK 1.3 for a long time now.
Maybe that's because they don't have "endorsed" problems and things just work and are stable :-)
"Write once, run anywhere" - why would you choose a target that will not run for a (significant) number of people, and try to force them to choose between upgrading tomcat and upgrading other software ?
What do we gain ? Few features that are available anyway - with many choices of better implementations.
Sun has the bad habit of breaking compatibility and the "run anywhere" promise on every release. 5.0 is particularly bad. I consider "run anywhere" one of the essential things in java - including the ability to
run with other vendor or open source VMs.
