They have to be compiled to Java 6 to be compatible with uP 4.0 _on Java 6_. IIRC, running uP 4.0 on Java 7 is supported as well, so you could actually run a Java 7 portlet on uP 4.0 if you like. And as we advance the platform to newer versions of Java, I should think the portlets are free to follow suit as soon as the opportunity permits. This who want updates to their Java 6 portlets running in their Java 6 JVM can still have them — they just need to obtain a new patch release on the line they’re already on. We won’t shift required JVM version in a patch release. drew -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
