| Issue 121: | Add Java 1.4 build | |
| 1 person starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
This patch to the build script creates a jmesa-snapshot-retro.jar file in the dist directory that can run on Java 1.4 Preliminary testing works; did not delve into more advanced features yet. Runtime dependencies for this jar file are: javassist.jar backport-concurrent.jar jboss-retro-rt.jar Also, you must have a 1.4 JRE to link against when building this JAR file. The retro build is invoked automatically if you provide the -j argument to the build. I'm attaching some additions to the repository to make this work (just unzip in the repository directory); also an SVN patch for build.groovy and ivy.xml As an aside, I added the portlet API dependencies while I was at it.

I backported the jmesaWeb project to the jdk1.4 standard and used the new jmesa-retro.jar file. I checked it into the trunk as jmesaRetroWeb. I verified that it works against Tomcat 4.1 running against the JDK1.4. The only thing that does not work are the tags as they use the SimpleTagSupport class and that is not retro-fitted. Not sure if there is anything we can do about this.
