Roger, Currently the try-with-resources statement is in the library, in TerraFileBrowserSkin.java and then I build 1.7 compatible jars and try to use my modified library.

Hi Cynthia, You should only have to do: "ant install" (actually to just build the unsigned .jar files you can use "ant clean package"). I just tried it on Windows 7, with JDK 1.7.0_25 and it worked fine (with the current code in svn at "branches/2.0.x"). I don't think you need to specify the 1.7 compiler version, even if you want to use Java 7 features in your code. The 1.6-compatible .jar files generated by a Pivot build will still be compatible with code built using 1.7-compatible user programs (in my experience). Did you try just using the 2.0.3 release .jar files from here: http://pivot.apache.org/download.cgi#2.0.3 ? Where did you add the "try-with-resources" statement? Was it in your main program (close to the "startup" method)? The Pivot code does not implement the "AutoCloseable" interface anywhere that would be required for a "try-with-resources" statement, so that may be the problem, depending on what resources you wanted automatically closed.... ~Roger From: Schwartz, Cynthia L [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 1:07 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: How to build 2.0.3 using 1.7 source and target ? What is the proper way to build Pivot 2.0.3 using ant ? I tried ant -Dcompiler.source=1.7 -Dcompiler.target=1.7 install (without the 1.7 switches, it builds and runs the project. Then I added a try-with-resources stmt and tried to run my project ) It builds, however my Netbeans project will not run with the following : java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - mainwindow.MainWindow is not abstract and does not override abstract method startup(org.apache.pivot.wtk.Display,org.apache.pivot.collections.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>) in org.apache.pivot.wtk.Application at mainwindow.MainWindow<clinit>(MainWindow.java:XX) Exception in thread "main" Java Result: 1
