Bug 271797 – dev-java/jaxme-0.5.2 depends on jdk 1.5 for xpath

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin von Gagern 2009-05-29 19:00:26 UTC]

Emerging dev-java/jaxme-0.5.2 using a blackdown 1.4 JDK fails:

    [javac] /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/jaxme-0.5.2/work/ws-jaxme-0.5.2/src/jaxme/org/apache/ws/jaxme/generator/impl/Inliner.java:31: package javax.xml.xpath does not exist
    [javac] import javax.xml.xpath.XPath;

 * ERROR: dev-java/jaxme-0.5.2 failed.

JAVACFLAGS="-source 1.4 -target 1.4" COMPILER="javac"

You should either depend on a 1.5 jdk (and probably jre, too). If there are separate packages providing an xpath api and implementation, they might be added as alternatives to the 1.5 jdk or jre resp.

patch to fix building on 1.4 vm's

Hi Martin,

Would you be able to test this patch for me?  I don't have a 1.4 vm anymore.

Thanks

use xml-apis.jar from xml-commons-external-1.3

Doesn't work. You named the symlink incorrectly, so it's not included in the classpath. Furthermore, xml-commons doesn't provide all required classes.
xml-commons-external-1.3 however does. I fixed the patch, now it works.

Deps updated to 1.5, as 1.4 is under removal.
