Sorry, there is a misunderstanding. Of course, everybody (even me) know assertions were introduced in Java 1.4. That is not the issue.
The issue is: JR doesn't build with Eclipse JDK 1.4 support enabled. You need to switch it to 1.5. It seems related to assertion (which is strange since as you said everybody know they were introduced in 1.4). I didn't investigate this issue any further but what I know is in Eclipse you need to enable Java 1.5 to be able to build the project. I have had this questions a few times, this is why I brought it up when Julian asked about it. It is not a major issue, but can be annoying to new users and we should ease as most as possible their path I think. Nicolas On 10/9/06, Tobias Bocanegra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
no offense but imo java developers should know what features and language extensions were introduced in the respective jdk releases. also see: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/language/ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/lang/index.html btw: http://jackrabbit.apache.org/doc/building.html states: Jackrabbit uses Maven version 1.x as the build system and the source tree is mostly organized according to the Maven Standard Directory Layout. The Maven version 1.0.2 and Java Development Kit (JDK) version 1.4 are the standard build environment, but you should be quite fine also with Maven 1.1 and Java 5. regards, toby
