Hi Andrew,
Dr Andrew John Hughes said the following on 03/22/11 08:09:
The first part of a fix for SA is:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/icedtea/jdk7/hotspot/rev/e452443363a7
This drops the 1.4 options and gets it building by fixing compareTo.
The build doesn't turn on raw type warnings so there aren't any.
Instead, you just get the message from javac telling you how to turn
them on.
So from our perspective the main impediment to dropping 1.4 is that the
SA code uses enum as an identifier and so needs to be updated to either
change names or else change to Java 5 enums. How did you avoid this problem?
