RE: [JBoss-dev] stop using JDK 1.4 for development

2003-03-03 Thread Rod Burgett
I'm working on an automated script to get and build from source, run the
testsuite and post the results.  It's about 90% complete - isn't everything?

I expect to use it internally for testing on various os/jvm combinations.
And, with a little luck, establish a site to post the results and collect
results for other combinations from external sources.

The bad news is that it currently includes a few hacks to cope with some
quirks in the build system; see bugs 682352 and 667825.

Re: [JBoss-dev] stop using JDK 1.4 for development

2003-02-28 Thread Scott M Stark
The jnet.jar is available and used in the build since it currently compiles with 1.3.
If you are adding a new feature using javax.net.ServerSocketFactory then you
may have to modify the corresponding build to include this jar to ensure that the
code compiles with 1.3.

We have no plans on dropping support for 1.3.1 for the 4.0 release as there are
too many users that have not moved to 1.4+.

Re: [JBoss-dev] stop using JDK 1.4 for development

2003-02-28 Thread Tom Elrod
This actually brings up another question.  In using the JNP for JNDI
detector (invoker stuff), it requires javax.net.ServerSocketFactory, which
is in JDK 1.4 by default (and not in JDK 1.3).  Therefore I compile and test
using JDK 1.4 while doing my initial development locally.  So when this is
ready to checkin, will I have to then fix the build and CVS modules so that
will know if using JDK 1.3, then go get the jnet.jar I need vs. if JDK 1.4
then don't have to do anything special.

JBoss will have to move to JDK 1.4 sometime anyway if you want to keep up,
so why not for JBoss 4?

David,
 
  This is probably none of my business, but...

Isn't this what integration builds and tests are for?  If someone checks in code that 
does not compile and pass integration tests on all supported platforms, then it should 
probably be rolled back.
 
> How could we make this better known and popularize it?
 
Perhaps a code conventions guide in addition to the code style guide?  The Checkstyle 
tool (http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net) might also be used/modified to enforce this 
and other usage rules.

I don't think this is viable, since some features are simply going to be
supported only on jdk 1.4.  The primary example is working/reasonable
transaction logging: I think non-blocking sockets versions of transport
will be another example.

I really think a reliable warning service is the way to go.  I found Chris
Kimpton's compilation reports so unreliable I stopped paying attention to
them a long time ago.  Are they useful to anyone?

RE: [JBoss-dev] stop using JDK 1.4 for development

2003-02-28 Thread Jeff Haynie
The problem really is with me - I fess up. Bill's mad because I broke
the build twice this week by inadvertantly checking in code (throwing an
exception that is the new overloaded version in 1.4) that only compiles
on 1.4.   Unfortunately, my whole work and home environment *DO* require
1.4 and only works under 1.4 - so I sometimes forget to re-set my path
to JDK1.3 when I compile.  So, it compiles fine under 1.4.  I'm changing
my jboss build environment to force my path and JDK to 1.3 before it
runs.  Maybe be can update the build.bat/.sh to automatically do this
(or at least check the version before you compile) and that would fix
this problem for everyone?

I'd prefer to have a reliable way to report these problems, since I
don't consider it realistic for me to develop on 1.3.1.  How do you
detect them?

For the particular problem of nested exceptions, I think we should
always use the jboss NestedThrowable stuff Jason wrote since it provides
a much more reasonable stack trace.  Dain and I made as much as we could

no, jboss doesn't require 1.4.

And yes we must support 1.3 because of people that are using JBoss in
production with JDK 1.3

The real question is: Does JBoss _require_ 1.4?

I hope the answer will be 'no'.
