JDK SE 6 EOL

samhamilton
Hi Guys,

I would like to bring up for discussion how we plan to handle the EOL of Java SE 6 in July 2012 [1]? 

So far my local testing shows that you can't build OFBiz using JDK 7 and with only a few months left before we have to all have upgrade (unless you fancy nasty security holes in your deployment  - Ubuntu are pulling their JDK 6 packages very soon [2] ) I think we need some sort of plan. 

I have a couple of questions that perhaps someone might be able to answer:
a) Does the changes to support Java 7 need back porting to the older releases of OFBiz as bug fixes?
b) Can we setup buildbot with both Java 6 & 7 so that a branch could be established to get the bug fixes started? 

I am sure there is a lot more to think about! 

Sam

Actually I was more interested about running under Oracle 7 because of EOL of Java SE 6 in July 2012

Also for Sam's question:
a) no
b) nope I guess

Re: JDK SE 6 EOL

Paul Foxworthy
Hi all,

Oracle 7 is based on OpenJDK 7, so it might work.

Since Sam's message, OFBIZ-4638 has been committed which will help. OFBIZ-3993 and OFBIZ-4749 are unresolved, but these issues have a patch or a suggestion for resolution. So I think there has been progress.

Cheers

Paul Foxworthy

Re: JDK SE 6 EOL

I think it's time to *think* about it (ie turn to jdk 7). I don't mean to change things, simply think about them, prepare them...

Maybe more?

Thanks

Re: JDK SE 6 EOL

Another (better) answer to Sam's point a and b

a) Now Buildbot runs with JDK 1.7 and all releases support it after closing https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4749
b) Only JDK 1.7 is used by Buildbot see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4785
