Running on JDK 1.5 for One Month

[Vinay Agarwal]

FYI - I have been running on JDK 1.5 for one month on Windows and for
several days on CentOS 4.3. I have tested extensively and have not seen any
problems.

 

Regards,

Vinay Agarwal

Would it be possible for you to provide description changes to the
configurations / libraries to be made to ofbiz to run it under jdk 1.5

regards

No changes are required in OFBiz. Simply use JDK 1.5 instead of 1.4.

The same with my OFBiz (trunk version) - running on Windows XP with Java
1.5. No changes to configuration files were made for running with 1.5.

There were just some warnings while building (enum ;)), but everything
else was fine.

I forgot to mention that there were even no problems running OFBiz and
Java 1.5 with Debian Sid (Sun's Java) and Solaris 10/Sparc (Guess which
Java...;)). Pure Java rocks. :)

The protected enum warning I believe has been fixed.
At this time there doesn't seem to be a compelling
reason to switch to Java 5 unless you require it for
another aplication.  I wouldn't expect the community
to address improvements in code to take advantage of
some of the changes made in Java 5 especially with
Java 6 being in beta 2 and scheduled to be released
from beta (and likely open sourced) in autumn.

This week I ran the build unattended, last week the warnings were still
there. This week I didn't check the changes, too. It just ran
out-of-the-box (like all prior versions did since we've started using
OFBiz).

You're right with the 1.5 thing. But 1.5 was installed and because of
that I used to use 1.5. We wanted to be sure that OFBiz will run with
1.5 before the official support for 1.4.2 from Sun will be stopped. Java
6 is going to reach us soon and with the release the support will end AFAIK.

Best regards,
Fabian.

Coming from a C++ background, I have used C# for 9 months this winter. I did like their foreach (even if you can't modify the var in
the loop as with an iterator). I quickly saw that 1.5 offer something equivalent (new enhanced for loop). I know it's only syntaxic
sugar but sometimes I w'd be happy to use it ;o)

Hello all,

I'm using 1.5 for a long time with OFBiz too. If I remember right the one thing to make this new Java options (foreach, generics, etc.) work is to change 'source' attribute in all 'javac' tags in all build.xml files. Otherwise, javac will "read" the code as it's 1.4, but if it's 1.5, it fails.

Oleg.

Thanks for that point Oleg.
