Allow Java 5 language constructs in build code
----------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-4893
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4893
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build tools
Affects Versions: 10.7.1.0
Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen
Priority: Minor
We already allow the use of methods and classes that only exist in Java 5 and
higher in code that only runs at build time, but
java/build/org/apache/derbyBuild/build.xml specifies source and target level
"1.4", so we cannot use the new syntax introduced in Java 5. I think we should
also change source and target level to allow the new (well, not so new
anymore...) language constructs.
(I noticed this when I started writing code to perform sanity checking of the
message files at build time (DERBY-4796) and couldn't use the simpler for loop
syntax.)
