[JIRA] (JENKINS-14127) Support Libraries with dependencies on JDK 6 libraries

[demoboxguard-laapbu...@yahoo.co.uk (JIRA)]

Andrew Phillips edited a comment on JENKINS-14127 Support Libraries with dependencies on JDK 6 libraries Interesting snippets from the Jenkins POM [1]: lines 558-9 set the source and target Java versions to 1.5, but then in lines 578-81 we find <!-- There is a bug in JDK 1.5's compiler therefore need to compile with 1.6 --> <requireJavaVersion> <version>1.6.0-18</version> </requireJavaVersion> So if Jenkins seemingly requires a 1.6 compiler to be built, it shouldn't be a problem to build it with source and target versions of 1.6. I understand Monty's point about compatibility but from this it would seem that a split build should not require any code changes... [1] https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/master/pom.xml
