If it is not too hard I wonder if we should disable derby from booting if the jvm is not 1.6 or higher, with hopefully a clear message saying
why the boot is failing.


Hi Mike,

I'm not sure we can do much here. The compiled Derby byte code will be Java 6 byte code. If you try to run Java 6 byte code on an older VM you will get a java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError. This error is raised as the VM tries to load Derby, that is, long before we have an opportunity to inject an explanatory message.

But perhaps someone else has a clever idea.

Thanks,
