Thanks Paul. No rush, I have a DataVision build to roll today anyway, not to mention a really hairy prod LDAP issue at work, so it's not like I have nothing else to do :o

Well this is a definite oversight and so mea culpa. I am surprised neither
my Maven build picked this up nor Continuum which is running the
Struts 1.4build at Apache. When I get home, Frank, I will fix this for
you.

I *definitely* say no... I know in my shop, we're going to be stuck with
JDK 1.4 for nearly another year because of Websphere, so it would keep
me from moving up the Struts 1.x ladder (although, we're still on 1.2.8
I believe, so we're back a ways regardless).

My feeling is that S1 should pretty much always stay on 1.4... I think
with the large installed base, and many in shops that haven't and don't
plan to bump to JDK 1.5, the 1.x track should remain accessible to them.
 I'd like to see the JDK line be S1 vs. S2... those that are stuck on
1.4 for whatever reason know that the 1.x track is for them, those on
1.5+ can choose either track.

I didn't unilaterally decide to use JDK 1.5 features. No worries. This
is
just an oversight, but what bugs me is that the Maven compiler (at least
on
my side) didn't set the right compiler version and catch the error.
Bummer.
Anyway, AFAIK, 1.4 is still a JDK 1.4 project. But since Frank tried
this
out, I guess we should ask if 1.5 should be used or not? At the moment,
I
say no. Thoughts?

Looks like core uses JDK 1.5 features - for example the
IllegalStateException constructors which take a "Throwable" cause were
only added in JDK 1.5:

I don't remember agreeing to move to JDK 1.5 (from JDK 1.4) for the
next Struts (1.4) version - but perhaps we did?
I had a feeling that might have been the case, but I too don't remember
even discussion of requiring 1.5 at any point so I figured I must be
wrong.

And I can confirm that switching to java5 works, got a successful build
now... actually, I have java6 installed so I used that, but I assume
java5 would work too.
