Rick Hillegas created DERBY-6236:
------------------------------------
Summary: Remove references to old JVMs (pre-Java 6) from the user
guides
Key: DERBY-6236
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6236
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 10.11.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
DERBY-6213 removed support for Java 5 and CDC. We need to scour references to
these platforms from our user documentation. This includes scouring references
to JDBC 3.0 and JSR 169. Changes include the following:
-------- Admin Guide -------------
o "Differences in JDBC 3.0 methods": The section should be renamed to
"Differences in JDBC methods" and references to JDBC 3.0 should be removed from
its text.
-------- Developer's Guide -------------
o "Derby and Java Virtual Machines (JVMs)": the lowest supported JVM level
should be changed from 5 to 6.
-------- Getting Started Guide -------------
o "System requirements": the lowest supported JVM level should be changed from
5 to 6.
o"Verifying the Derby system configuration": bullet 1, references to Java
version 5 should be changed to 6.
o "Self-study tutorial for users new to Derby": references to JDK version 5
should be changed to 6.
-------- Reference Guide -------------
o "JDBC reference": Change "JDBC 3.0 and 4.0 APIs" -> "JDBC API"
o "java.sql.Driver interface": This section gives instructions on how to load
the JDBC driver if you are running on an old (pre-Java 6) JVM. The section is
almost vacuous now. It can be collapsed to the following summary:
"The class that loads Derby's local JDBC driver is the class
org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver. The class that loads Derby's network
client driver is the class org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver."
o "JDBC Package for Connected Device Configuration/Foundation Profile (JSR
169)": Remove this section.
o "Features supported on all JDBC 4 releases": This section should be removed
and its material should be merged into the preceding sections.
o "DataSource classes": The following changes should be made.
"Embedded environment, for applications running on JDK 5 or higher and using
JDBC 3 and JDBC 4.0 methods:" -> "Embedded environment, for applications
running on Java 6 or higher:"
Remove the following paragraph and the list of *40 DataSources which it
introduces:
"Embedded environment, for applications running on JDK 6 or higher and using
methods specific to JDBC 4.1 or JDBC 4.2:"
"Client-server environment, for applications running on JDK 5 or higher and
using JDBC 3 and JDBC 4.0 methods:" -> "Client-server environment, for
applications running on Java 6 or higher:"
Remove the following paragraph and the list of *40 DataSources which it
introduces:
"Client-server environment, for applications running on JDK 6 or higher and
using methods specific to JDBC 4.1 or JDBC 4.2:"
-------- Tools Guide -------------
o "Environment setup and the Derby tools": The minimum Java level is 6, not 5.
