Hi all,

I am working on SLING-190 [1] which is concerned with providing a quick
hint on Sling startup if started on a pre-1.5 VM. To implement this, the
Sling launcher and servlet must be compiled with source/target settings
for the compiler for the classes to be usable on pre-1.5 VMs.

This is basically no problem as the classes may just be converted back
to non-generic Java and with the correct compiler setup for the project.

The problem is with the integration tests. I don't think it is worth the
effort porting theses tests back to be pre-1.5 compatible. But as I
cannot find a way of configuring the compiler plugin differently for the
compile and the test-compile phases, I only see a solution by splitting
the web app (to be compiled for pre-1.5) and the integration tests (to
be compiled for 1.5).

OTOH it is also up to discussion, whether we implement SLING-190 at
all ?

WDYT ?

Regards
Felix
