Hello.
I'm trying to build and recognize Mahout.
I know that Mahout requires JDK6.
But mahout-math's pom.xml contains plugin configuration which direct
compile for Java5 as following:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Furthermore RandomWrapper and DistributionChecks uses
String#getBytes(Charset) and Arrays#copyOf() method.
These methods are not supported in JDK5.
I think it should be configured to compile in Java6.
Feel free to point out my mistakes.
Well, as I read internal sources, I may have other questions about
internal of Mahout.
Is it prefer to post this kind of message to mahout-users mailinglist?
Thanks.
Daisuke Miyamoto
