Description Emmanuel Bourg 2013-04-29 12:08:22 UTC 
JMeter still depends on the Activation Framework which is now part of Java 6. This dependency could be safely removed.

Patch removing the dependency on the activation framework
Comment 2 Philippe Mouawad 2013-04-29 20:37:48 UTC 
Thanks for patch.
But it seems to me JDK6 does not include the whole content of activation-1.1.1.jar.
So I am not sure we can apply this patch without side effects.
Comment 3 Emmanuel Bourg 2013-04-29 21:09:59 UTC 
I think Activation 1.1.1 is also in Java 6. I found this:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index-135046.html


"JAF 1.1.1 released!

The JavaBeans Activation Framework 1.1.1 contains a bug fix for the Turkish locale and a minor enhancement to better support byte arrays and Strings in the DataHandler.writeTo method.

The JavaBeans Activation Framework 1.1.1 requires J2SE 1.4 or greater.

The JavaBeans Activation Framework 1.1.1 final release is included with the Java SE 6 release and is also available separately."


And also this post stating that Activation 1.1.1 was included in Java 6u10:

Comment 4 Philippe Mouawad 2013-04-29 21:23:00 UTC 
Thanks, but checking with my last java version on mac osx 10.6.8 of jdk6, i don't see all classes from activation-1.1.1 that's why I am wondering.
Comment 5 Emmanuel Bourg 2013-04-29 21:25:15 UTC 
Which one is missing? I'll give it a look.
Comment 6 Emmanuel Bourg 2013-04-30 07:47:07 UTC 
I checked all the classes in activation-1.1.1-jar, the only ones missing from the public Java 6 API are either package private classes (e.g. ObjectDataContentHandler) or classes under com.sun.*.
