Hi all,
I am trying to implement the extcheck JDK tool. As i read in the
specification
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/extcheck.html,
extcheck tool
compares versions as in java.lang.Package.isCompatibleWith()
Great. Please complete an Authorized Contributor Questionnaire :
http://harmony.apache.org/auth_cont_quest.html
Best to use the text version, sign, and if you can send a PDF of that
signed version to me or [EMAIL PROTECTED], that would be great.
It also never hurts to complete an Individual Contributor License
Agreement :
http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt
And fax that to the number on the document.
isCompatibleWith assumes that the version is '.' separated numeric
values. But many of
the jar files have alpha-numeric Specification-version attribute.
How do you compare
alpa-numeric versions? Do I assume versions to be numeric only?
As I can see, Sun's implementation of extcheck is very rough. Try
extcheck -verbose
It throws ArrayIndexOutOfBounds :)
I vote we don't mimic this feature of the RI : )

Thanks,
