Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-3966:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: derby-3966-02-aa-buildTools.diff

Attaching derby-3966-02-aa-buildTools.diff. This patch changes the build to use 
the Java 5 compiler instead of the jdk1.4 compiler when compiling the build 
tools used by later stages of the Derby build. The classes are still compiled 
into 1.4 byte code. This change should only affect the Derby build process 
itself and not the actual product jar files.

This change is the recommended workaround for the fact that our 
javadoc-building tools rely on Sun-supplied Taglet classes. This issue was 
discussed in the following email thread:

  http://www.nabble.com/Sun-classes-imported-by-Derby-code-td17566526.html

Unless someone objects, I'm inclined to check this patch in soon.

Touches the following file:

M      java/build/org/apache/derbyBuild/build.xml


> Do not require JRE 1.4 libraries at compile time since SUN's JDK 1.4 went out 
> of support and can be used on JRE 1.4 without any problem
