I thought that the -source and -target switches of javac were intended
to deal with these problems. Were they not?
Anyway, I just tried the 1.3.1 JDK. The jar builds, the tests fail due
to the fact that dumbster is compiled for 1.4 and my toolchain for
rebuilding that (ant and everything) simply does not run on 1.3.1 any
longer. So if anyone has a 1.3 compiled dumbster.jar for me, I'll try
again.
The 1.3.1 built jar passes the tests when running the test cases under
the 1.4.2 runtime. You can get this jar from
people.apache.org/~henning/commons-email-1.0-rc7.jar for
testing. Personally I'd consider this "good enough".
As a side note: 1.3 is in EOL process at Sun. At what point do we
consider compatibility to 1.3 no longer necessary?
Regards
Henning
