Achim Nierbeck commented on KARAF-405:
--------------------------------------

If you work with eclipse (together with m2eclipse plugin), the sourc/target 
flags already help a lot. 
This way the eclipse project is configured to use JDK5 and the eclipse compiler 
starts complaining :)

> Force JDK 1.5 compiler

>                 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.
