hopefully not just to make your life more difficult and confusing.... Be careful, unless you are running on java 7 the jdk doesn't actually have the annotation 1.1 classes in it.
if the annotation 1.0 or 1.1 spec jar starts before the spring jars the spring jars ought to get wired to it even with the unmodified jre.properties. You ought to be able to arrange this order by putting the jars in system/ and using appropriate start-level in startup.properties. thanks david jencks On Mar 14, 2011, at 4:36 PM, Dan Tran wrote: > sorry about the noise, I am able to give javax.annotation a version > under etc/jre.properties and my activemq client works without the need > for geronimo-annotation package > > .... > javax.annotation;version="1.1.1", \ > javax.annotation.processing;version="1.1.1", \ > > > Thanks for all the helps > > -Dan > > On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 12:41 PM, Dan Tran <[email protected]> wrote: >> I am a little confused about what to do with jre.properties.
