Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-3966:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for the quick feedback, Knut. And thanks to Bryan for the vote of
confidence on the dev list.
I am not a lawyer. Ahem and further throat clearing. But after re-reading the
first couple sections of the Apache 2.0 license, I am concerned that we are not
properly attributing the Xalan jars which we're already using. It seems to me
that the jar files are an Object form of the original Xalan Work. Since we
re-distribute this Xalan Work, we should include the Xalan NOTICE in our Derby
NOTICE file just as we include the Harmony NOTICE.
Concerning java15compile.classpath: I agree that we should do what you suggest.
But I think that should be a separate JIRA. Right now BUILDING.txt says that
you have to have a Java 5 JDK on your machine and this requirement is enforced
by PropertySetter. I agree that we ought to be able to remove that requirement
now that we include the JDBC3 stubs, provided that the machine has a Java 6 JDK.
Maybe as part of that JIRA (or another JIRA), we should set
java16compile.classpath and jdk16 either by looking for the Java 6 JDK in the
file system or by setting it equal to ${jdbc4stubs}:${java15compile.classpath}.
Then we would have a pretty flexible build which compiles all of Derby from
Derby source provided that you have a Java 5 or greater JDK on your machine.
What do you think? I will log the additional JIRAs if you agree that this is
the right approach.
Thanks.
