Description

« Hide

As with svn commit 473379, org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager uses the jdk method URL.getPath which is available since JDK 1.3 only.

Though 1.2 is really old, xerces currently claims JDK 1.2 compatibility.

To ensure that Xerces compiles under a specific JDK I suggest applying the following patch modifying the classpath under eclipse such that it choses from the installed SDKs a compilation environment as close to the desired one as possible (1.2 in this case/1.3 in the future) instead of using the default execution environment.
This will show compilation errors already in eclipse before commiting if the respective commiter has a suitable SDK installed.

Replace 1.2 by 1.3 if the community decides to advance to 1.3...

Ludger, we just had a vote on the j-dev list to drop support for JDK 1.2. It passed. The next release will require at least JDK 1.3 to compile and run. I've changed the abstract of this JIRA issue accordingly.

Thanks for the patch. I've commited the change to .classpath file with J2SE 1.3 as the version. Also updated the FAQ in the documentation. It now states that the minimum level is 1.3.
