Yep. What do you think to the idea of using one of the ASF boxes as a build machine for releases?
It'd have to have all JDK's on it, you'd do:
jdk12 svn export ... build ...
Also nice as it stops people releasing from their snadbox, which can often contain junk.
We could ask Infra if such a box might exist.

I'm very sure that there are incompatibilities with bytecode outputted by the 1.4 compile which makes problems running it on 1.3. Because of that, at one point I built a Turbine release (2.3) with both 1.3 and 1.4 jars.
The problem is documented in the Java bug database, but I'm not able to find a reference to it. There should be something about it on the turbine-dev archive around the time of the 2.3 release, but I don't know whether the archives work again.
I've pointed to this problem a long time ago but it got largely ignored, mainly because everyone here seems to compile their jars themselves. But I did have the problem with maven (when I was still using 1.3 as my main platform) binary relases, which were built with JDK 1.4 (1.4.1 IIRC) and did not run on the Sun 1.3.1 JRE.
IMHO this will get worse with 1.5.
Regards Henning
The only place I could imagine would have the 1.3 jars is either the nightly build (only Commons, and it doesn't afaik) or gump (does 1.4 and 1.5). I don't think Gump want to be responsible for released jars either, so currently I'd suspect it'll need a fair bit of effort/movement to get 1.3 jars created.
Sorry,

Hello Will, and thank you very much for your time.
Indeed no, it seems that there are some incompatibilities at the JVM level which means that not all 1.4 bytecode runs in 1.3 JVM. I have had to recompile turbine source and commons-configuration source only to be able to make my webapp run.
As errors appears only during runtime, I wonder whether I could find jakarta's binaries compiled 1.3 for the more-or-less-fifty-libraries-I-use in order for not to recompile all of them.
However it is true, no need to touch velocity; it works "as it".
Thanks,

The byte code should be the same -- as long as the library doesn't use any JDK 1.4 specific libraries, it should work fine under 1.3. I can vouch this
is fine for Velocity.

Hello,
I have a J2EE application built around Hibernate, Turbine, and Velocity, which I need to recompile to be able to run into a JDK1.3 environment. This implies recompiling several common libraries, as well as Turbine itself and other components. I have sear the mirrors but it seems that all the available apache jars are now compiled with JDK 1.4
My question is, is there any place to get ("old") jars compiled with JDK1.3? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
José Alberto Rodriguez Ruiz
P.D.: If this is not the right list to ask this question, sorry in advance.
