Description Federico Fissore 2008-02-19 21:24:58 UTC

I've noticed latest eclipse-sdk is built with java 1.5. Even if I'm happy with that from a performance POF, this cause me a problem

I'm working on a project done with java 1.4. I've set up my projects to use the jdk1.4 installed and to compile with 1.4 target.

The problem comes when I run my junit tests: since they are run with the jvm 1.4 and since the junit plugin is built with java 1.5, I receive an UnsupportedClassVersionError

I'm trying to work on the ebuild to skip the initial "sed" and to leave the junit 3 plugin as it is, but I still don't have a patch for that

Reproducible: Always

If you need support, uses a proper place for it. Bugzilla is not one of them... Thanks.

JDK 1.4 is hard masked in the tree and in no longer supported upstream. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/index-jsp-138567.html

Please close this as RESOLVED INVALID.
