Guillaume Nodet commented on KARAF-405:
---------------------------------------
I don't think the source / target compiler settings are sufficient. AFAIK, it
only affect the way the class files are generated and the syntax options that
are available, but it doesn't work for new methods I think.
> Force JDK 1.5 compiler

> Key: KARAF-405
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-405
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
> Fix For: 2.2.0
>
>
> As agreed on the dev mailing list, we defined the following policy:
> - Karaf 2.2.x == JDK 1.5
> - Karaf 3.0.x == JDK 1.6
> It means that we should be sure that we don't use JDK 1.6 specific methods on
> the current trunk (corresponding to Karaf 2.2.x).
> For instance, we got a Hudson build failure due to the usage of
> java.lang.String isEmpty() method which is JDK 1.6 specific whereas Hudson
> still uses JDK 1.5.
> To detect this kind of situation, I propose to define the <source/> and
> <target/> on the maven-compiler-plugin.
> These instructions will be removed after the 2.2.x branch cut off. The trunk
> will be Karaf 3.0.x and so JDK 1.6 compliant.
