This is great news (for how we build with JDK 1.6, not the javadoc :( ),
I didn't know if this was completed. Thanks, Andrew!
Should those of working with JDK 1.6 start using the JAVA_HOME technique
rather than the ant.properties technique? Has BUILDING.txt been changed?
Thanks,
David

Hi Andrew,
Thanks to your excellent work on derby-1078, it appears that we use the
1.6 javac when compiling in a shell window whose JAVA_HOME points at a
1.6 installation. Thanks to your changes, the build targets tell the 1.6
compiler to regard pre-JDBC4 source as down-rev and to generate byte
code that will run on jdk1.3.
I ran the experiment you recommended: I compiled and then generated
javadoc all in a shell window whose JAVA_HOME pointed at jdk1.6. This
did not change the javadoc result. E.g., the javadoc still falsely
asserted that our JDBC3 DataSources implemented the JDBC4 Wrapper
interface.
The result was not affected when I generated javadoc with the following
ant switch (also in a 1.6 shell window):
source="1.4"
Regards,

Well, I don't know that the Mac fans on this list would be very

To clarify, the recent changes that went in with DERBY-1078 mean that
you can build with 1.4, 1.5, or 1.6, and the resulting build will run
on 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6.
Rick, I think David's suggestion #2 may be the answer. Now that
DERBY-1078 is fixed, you can build everything with the 1.6 compiler.
What does 1.6 javadoc say if you compiled everything with the 1.6
compiler?
