Rick Hillegas created DERBY-5984:
------------------------------------
Summary: Derby 10.8 branch does not build out-of-the-box using
Oracle's Java 7 JDK on Mac OSX.
Key: DERBY-5984
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5984
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build tools
Affects Versions: 10.8.2.2, 10.8.1.2, 10.8.3.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
If I try to build the 10.8 branch using Oracle's Java 7 for Mac OSX, the build
fails as follows:
[setJdkProperties] Unrecognized VM vendor: 'Oracle Corporation'
[setJdkProperties] An attempt to configure the required JDKs will be made, but
the build may fail.
[setJdkProperties] In case of problems:
[setJdkProperties] - consult BUILDING.html and set the required properties
manually
[setJdkProperties] - set the property printCompilerProperties to true and ask
the Derby development community for help
[setJdkProperties] (please provide the debug output from running ant)
BUILD FAILED
/Users/rh161140/derby/branches/10.8/build.xml:241: Don't know how to set
java15compile.classpath, java16compile.classpath using this environment:
java.vendor = Oracle Corporation
java.home = /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_09.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
java.version = 1.7.0_09
os.name = Mac OS X
j14lib = null
j15lib = null
j16lib = null
jdkSearchPath = /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_09.jdk/Contents
Please consult BUILDING.html for instructions on how to set the
compiler-classpath properties.
Total time: 1 second
The following facts about this branch do not seem to me to be consistent:
1) The release notes for 10.8.1, 10.8.2, and 10.8.3 state that JDBC 4.1 is a
supported JDBC level, which implies support for Java 7.
2) The release notes for all 3 releases also state that Java SE versions are
supported from 1.4 on up. Since 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 were released after Java 7
went live, this implies that those releases support Java 7.
3) But you can't build the source distribution of 10.8.3 using Java 7 on a
major platform.
I don't think that 10.8.3 is worse than 10.8.2 in this regard so I would not
flunk the 10.8.3 candidate for this defect. However, we should try to fix this
problem in case we need to build another 10.8 release candidate.
