-------------------------------------
Summary: Use Animal-Sniffer ANT task to enforce JDK compatibility
Key: LUCENE-4725
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4725
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: general/build
Affects Versions: 4.1
Reporter: Uwe Schindler
Assignee: Uwe Schindler
While developing the fork of the forbidden-apis check, I recogized another very
useful task to execute (in fact its similar to the forbidden-apis task, it just
does the opposite - it only allows specific signatures).
The problem is in general: If the developer has a newer JDK version installed
and builds Lucene/Solr against it, he can accidentally use method dignatures or
classes not available in the compile target java version (in our case 1.6).
This is especially useful for Mac users, who are enforced to use the JDK
version shipped with the operating system.
The Animal-Sniffer ANT plugin can handle this for us
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/animal-sniffer/animal-sniffer-ant-tasks/), available
via IVY. The corresponding signatures are also available via IVY:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/signatures/java16/
Like the forbidden APIs scanner it scans the byte code and fails the build if
any signature is used that is not shipped with the compiler target JDK.
