Dear abc extenders and users. We are planning to move Soot (and hence also abc, the AspectBench Compiler) to a Java 5 compilation level quite soon. This email is to give you a chance to express any doubts you might have about this process. The change will have the following implications.
- Soot and abc will not run with any Java 5 or higher JVM - Soot and abc will need to be compiled with a Java 5 or higher JDK - any extension written to Soot and abc which is to be distributed with those new versions of Soot and abc needs to be compiled and run with a Java 5 or higher JRK/JVM - the same holds for extensions of those extensions - however, all those extensions, in particular new ones will be able to use all Java 5 features after the change So as you can see, this affects the entire transitive closure of our development process. Hence, to us it is important that everybody is aware of the implications. If you have any doubts or concerns about this, please let us know! In any way, we will branch off a Java 1.4 compatible maintenance branch (which probably won't really be maintained though) and probably we will also put out a new release before the change.
