Description Forza 2004-09-13 08:07:29 UTC

jEdit-4.2 doesn't compile with JDK 1.5. It gives thousands of errors so it is probably code problems. Anyway I think the ebuild should warn if the user has JDK 1.5 as prefered compiler.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

1.5 is package masked meaning it doesn't work correctly

Comment 2 Forza 2004-09-13 08:14:14 UTC

Indeed 1.5 is masked. However, even the release will probably not work because of the changes done to Java 1.5.

Comment 3 Forza 2004-09-13 08:23:25 UTC

The solution is to provide the "-source 1.4" compiler option. This makes the java compiler to accespt java 1.4 code. The default is to only accept 1.5 code.
