Bug 191013 – [java-overlay] spring-2.0_rc4 has unnecessary USE flag java5

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Morten Cools 2007-09-01 22:58:20 UTC]

The spring-2.0_rc4 package has the java5 USE flag, but it needs certain classes from java.lang.reflection, which are only available from Java 5. Without the USE flag set, the emerge fails.

according to the documentation of spring2, Java 5 is required for the full build including all aspects

Java 1.4 is fine, but tou cannot use everything from spring-2.0("tiger" source directory requires Java 5)

Created attachment 130413 [details]
removed java5 use flag from ebuild

really, spring 2.0 cannot be compiled with java 1.4. So java5 use flag is unneccessary

Removed spring from java-experimental overlay. Note there seems to be newer work on spring-framework, also in java-exp.
