Cool ! Unknowingly I had been building on JDK 1.5 for a while now. The java installation on my windows decided to upgrade itself. The builds had passed successfully but I hadn't tested the server runtime.
Recently, I downgraded my jdk back to 1.4.2 after I encountered some build problems. The build problems turned out to be non-jdk related anyways. Cheers Prasad On 9/14/06, Bill Dudney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi All, After running into the jdk 1.5 building problem a couple of days ago and posting about it ; http://www.nabble.com/fail-bootstrap-early-with-wrong-jdk-tf2265472.html I decided to dig into how far away we are from being able to build with J2SE 5. So I set out to give it a shot. And to my amazement everything just worked :-). Of course 'everthing' does not include the bits that rely on the Sun ORB but the server fired up and I was able to poke around in the console. Anyway here is what I did to get everything building with JDK 1.5; 1) checkout a fresh copy of a) https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/trunk b) https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/genesis/trunk c) https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/trunk 2) delete all the geronimo stuff from my local m2 repo (rm -rf ~/.m2/ repository/org/apache/geronimo) 3) set my jdk to 1.5 4) build a) genesis b) specs c) remove the check for jdk 1.4 (patch attached) & build geronimo 5) start the server under 1.5 6) poke around - of course anything requiring the ORB will not work but the other stuff I tried worked, I poked around a bit with jconsole and the stuff running all looked 'normal' to me. Thoughts? TTFN, -bd-
