It might be worthwhile to agree on a simple, general policy going
forward, something like this:
A) We expect that a new feature release (branch) will support the
following Java versions:
i) The current version being developed by the Open JDK community. This
is a stretch goal but one which I think we can hit. Let's call this
the CURRENT version.
ii) CURRENT - 1
iii) CURRENT - 2
I am ok with no longer supporting java 5 and CDC but think that while
current -2 is a reasonable goal, we should talk about it every time we
drop a release.
B) We expect that maintenance releases on a branch will continue to
support the same Java versions as the initial feature release cut from
that branch.
Adopting this policy would result in the following changes to the
10.11 trunk:
I) Removing build support for Java 5 and CDC.
II) Purging user doc references to Java 5 and CDC.
III) Removing the JDBC 3 version of the public api.
So by this do you mean that DataSource classes like EmbeddedDataSource
would no longer work and users would have to
use EmbeddedDataSource40? I think that would be too harsh of a change as
it would require most applications using data sources be changed in
order to upgrade.
