------------------------------------
Summary: Prepare Derby to run with Compact Profiles (JEP 161)
Key: DERBY-5955
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5955
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation, JDBC, Services, SQL
Reporter: Dag H. Wanvik
While waiting for a Java module system (aka project Jigsaw), it has been
decided to define a few subsets of the Java SE Platform Specification, cf JEP
161 ( http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/161).
A quote from the JEP: "More broadly, this feature is intended to enable the
migration of applications currently built on top of the Java ME Connected
Device Configuration (CDC) to appropriate Profiles of the Java SE Platform,
part of the long-term effort to converge CDC with Java SE."
It would be good if we make Derby to run on such limited profiles. The current
proposal places JDBC in Compact Profile 2 (cf. link above), while other
libraries used by Derby, e.g. javax.naming (JNDI) are in Profile 3 (larger).
It would be good if Derby could run on the smallest posible platform, i.e.
Profile 2, but that will probably involve some changes to make Derby gracefully
limit functionality when some libraries are missing.
