at least you can run the 10.4 on your laptop for testing and copy your
data from the server to your laptop.
your right

Hi BJ:
I hope not about 9.04 - this would be a serious violation of the bug fix
vs. new features "line in the sand" that the project has endorsed for
some time now.
Thanks for the install info. I've done this successfully before many
times. Problem is that there isn't a pre-built Java 1.6 for MAC OS 1.4
(or prior) Operating Systems. And personally, I don't want to go through
the process of building a compiler from scratch...
Anyhow, one of these days I might upgrade my server. My laptop is
already there.
Regards,
Ruth

simple answer is the current code will not compile with 1.5.
a lot of code has been backported to 9.04 so it requires 1.6 also.
to your problem, usually Sun java will work on any OS it has in the past.
for a linux machine it usually installed in a new place and you have
to do hand edits to get to run on ofbiz.
as a note I have 1.2 through 1.6 on my linux machine even have some
1.4 code running that I am to lazy to recompile under 1.6.
I would be glad to help you work though what you have to do if you let
me know what OS you running.
thsese steps will not effect your current installation.
start by installing the 10.4 in a new directory
do a chown of the directory to the a new user like ofbiz10.4
then install Sun SDK 1.6
the install will tell you the path to the 1.6
if you use the rc.ofbiz copy that to where the other one is and rename
it to ofbiz10.4
edit the file to have paths to the java 1.6.
also edit your ./ant file to use the java 1.6 path.
you should be able then to do a run-install to test the installation.
let me know if you get that far or run into problems

Hi All:
Is there any interest in making OFBiz 10.4 (and all the 10.x) releases
compatible with Java 1.5? Requiring 1.6 is a real show stopper for me.
But I'm wondering if anyone else out there really cares at all about
this?

Ruth Hoffman
