Re: [sipX-dev] Java compatibility problem

I'd like to get Java compatibility straightened out.
The currently built RPMs have a 'require' for Java version >= 1.6.
The
currently distributed RPM set contains such a Java RPM.
However, this could force a Java upgrade on some users, as earlier
versions of sipX only require Java version >= 1.5.
I looked at the discussions of this issue on sipx-dev. The last
thread
I found starts at
http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev/msg12614.html One or two
people suggested we push users to upgrade to Java 1.6. Damien noted
that we previously stated on sipx-dev
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.voip.sipx.devel/9437) that there
would be one more version ("3.12", now called 4.0) that would be
compatible with 1.5. There seemed to be no compelling reasons not to
follow this path, and that pretty much ended the discussion.
So we are now in a state where the code is not compatible with the
discussions on sipx-dev. I'd like to get this conflict resolved.
Opinions?

Why do you believe that there is a conflict? Our code will compile
and run perfectly well on J5. As for the RPM's requiring J6, that is
a totally different matter. Since 4.0 will ship with J6, the PRM's
call out that version. This will ensure that consistency will be
maintained in regards to JVM versions regardless of wether or not the
installation was a clean install or an upgrade.
