Hi,

our deployment env right now =

Win2003 Server, Ant 1.6.5, jdk1.4.2_08

Soon we have to support projects, that
run under / must be compiled for java 5 also

We' ll have a mix of projects for jdk 1.4
and jdk 5 then.

I'm looking for the most simple solution
to support both java versions, means
if possible avoiding two different workflows ...


Questions =

Is it possible to use Ant 1.6.5 with java 5 and
use <javac target="1.4"> ?
Yes,
however it is better to specify source as well.
I normally specify debug as wee, otherwise all line number
infromation is stripped.
<javac source="1.4" target="1.4" debug="yes">
</javac>


Does it work as expected, when running those classes with jre1.4 ?
Yes,
unless you use methods that only exist in java 5.


Is it better to switch to Ant 1.7.0 when running under jdk 5 ?
It should not make a difference,
however a huge number of bugs have been fixed between ant 1.6.5 and ant 1.7.

Peter
