Those lines in the POM essentially say the following: 1) <source>1.7</source> means that only 1.7 or above source code is accepted to be compiled. This is equivalent to the "-source" option passed to "javac" [1]. 2) <target>1.7</target> means that Maven should compile class files targeting a 1.7 JVM (Java 7). In other words, the compiled class files for XOAI are only guaranteed to run on JVM 1.7 or above. This is equivalent to the "-target" option passed to "javac" compiler [1]. Combined, this essentially means that XOAI is being compiled for Java 7 or above. I'm actually surprised it is running properly on OpenJDK 6. I would have expected to see that same "Unsupported major.minor version 51.0" error on any Java 6 implementation. I haven't had a chance to do any additional testing on my own (sorry), but I thought I'd just chip in the meaning behind these two POM settings. My analysis here is that XOAI 2.2.9 seems like it requires Java 7 to run. So, since DSpace 3.2 OAI-PMH uses those classes, it is also essentially requiring Java 7 to function. Therefore, I think this is a bug. It'd be nice to see if we could get a version of XOAI which doesn't require Java 7, since DSpace 3.x allows for Java 6 or above. - Tim [1] Javac documentation & options: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/solaris/javac.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
