Re: JDK SE 6 EOL

[Jacques Le Roux]

I think it's time to *think* about it (ie turn to jdk 7). I don't mean to 
change things, simply think about them, prepare them...

Maybe more?

Thanks

Hi all,

Oracle 7 is based on OpenJDK 7, so it might work.

Since Sam's message, OFBIZ-4638 has been committed which will help.
OFBIZ-3993 and OFBIZ-4749 are unresolved, but these issues have a patch or a
suggestion for resolution. So I think there has been progress.

Cheers

Paul Foxworthy

    Hi Guys,

    I would like to bring up for discussion how we plan to handle the
    EOL of Java SE 6 in July 2012 [1]?

    So far my local testing shows that you can't build OFBiz using
    JDK 7 and with only a few months left before we have to all have
    upgrade (unless you fancy nasty security holes in your deployment
     - Ubuntu are pulling their JDK 6 packages very soon [2] ) I
    think we need some sort of plan.

    I have a couple of questions that perhaps someone might be able
    to answer:
    a) Does the changes to support Java 7 need back porting to the
    older releases of OFBiz as bug fixes?
    b) Can we setup buildbot with both Java 6 & 7 so that a branch
    could be established to get the bug fixes started?

    I am sure there is a lot more to think about!

    Sam
